Feedback’s note about the Fire and Explosion Research Group
(29 January)
reminded of an occasion when I was working as a subcontractor at the Royal
Ordinance Factory at Burghfield.
Getting into the place meant a long and somewhat mind-numbing series of
security checks which took at least 45 minutes from first entry to the final
workplace. A moment of light relief was inadvertently provided at one of the
checkpoints by a notice proclaiming in large letters “Personnel carrying
explosives have the right of way”. I don’t think anyone ever thought of arguing
with that.
