@foz101 Thats a pity, it would be a great shame to see that post deteriorate. I wish I had the resources to buy the one on ebay at the moment... maybe youve seen it. Its in the Peak District, and its a buy-it-now item at £18k.
There are more preserved posts than I though, just checked the rocassoc website for the museum page. My dad was on the Sawtry post in Hunts.

This one in really good condition probably always sealed thus proof against vandals. Shame they were not all (or welded shut) One has to make the observation though it was purely Politicians created the insanity of the Cold War (East and West) - yet - had it happened they would all be very comfortable and snug in their RSGs - whilst many ordinary folks outside would be ... toast ...

Incredible to see a ROC Post still in this condition. I've been in several, filmed one which is not far from where i live. In comparison to this post, the one i filmed had been stripped and destroyed which is a great shame. From the looks of that log book, that post was last manned in 1992. I'm absolutely fascinated with how well preserved this post is. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tour. Nice dry post there. I was at 16 Grp Control Shrewsbury but enjoyed visiting the posts when I did mobile monitoring. Good hardy bunch of folk. Miss it greatly, as still in at 1991 stand down. No veterans badge for us alas. Regards to all visiting Observers.

Good to see an intact post and not covered in graffiti and torched (or flooded!). Is this post in actual preservation, or is it just one of the lucky ones?

@Hanglands it's one of the lucky ones! Not been up there for a while though so no idea what state it's in now.

Is it down John`s hill or St.Ninians?I didn`t even know it existed.

It's down St Ninians on the left side of the road. If you're looking for it you can't miss it.
