EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures members of the 32nd Guided Weapons Regiment of the Royal Artillery at their base in Ty Croes, North Wales, during the summer of 1961. In the image, soldiers are meticulously working on the English Electric Thunderbird surface-to-air guided missile system. The Thunderbird, a crucial component of the British air defense network during the Cold War, was a complex and advanced piece of military technology. The soldiers are in the process of fitting the radome to the Thunderbird missile. The radome, a protective covering for the missile's radar system, is a critical component that enables the missile to detect and track incoming aerial threats. Once the radome is securely in place, the missile will be carefully positioned on its launch pad, ready for deployment if needed. The 32nd Guided Weapons Regiment was responsible for maintaining and operating the Thunderbird missile systems, ensuring the readiness and effectiveness of the air defense network. The regiment's work was of the utmost importance, as the Thunderbird missiles provided a vital layer of protection against potential air attacks. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers of the 32nd Guided Weapons Regiment during a pivotal moment in military history. Their dedication and expertise were essential to the defense of the United Kingdom during the Cold War, and this image serves as a testament to their commitment and professionalism.
