COAP Goes Nuclear!
COAP is pleased to be joining the team at RAF Air Defence Radar Museum Neatishead for a rare insight and photo shoot of historical significance.
We will be travelling back in time to recreate typical Cold War scenarios to capture images of the 24/7, 365-day Alert at this important & unique national museum dedicated to the UK's History of Radar.
The RAF Air Defence Radar Museum Cold War Room offers a fantastic opportunity to capture RAF life at a period when we were only 120 seconds away from Nuclear War! The R30 Operations room at RAF Neatishead is a unique, fully intact electronic time capsule from the ‘frontline’ of the Cold War of international importance.
Chilling scenarios choreographed in historical context from first-hand knowledge will be offered by a team of re-enactors and museum staff (many of whom served in this exact room!). They will populate the perfectly preserved Cold War Room and offer the first-ever opportunity to capture such 'high alert' time travel photography in this secretive facility.

The event is organised during the museum's winter closure period allowing COAP exclusive access with an introduction by museum staff before leaping into High Alert & Action in the Cold War Room.
PLUS...Want a COAP Cold War Weekend Away?
With Neatishead only a 25 minute drive from the RAF West Raynham event on Saturday 22nd March, this offers a perfect opportunity to attend both COAP Cold War-themed events over one weekend in the beautiful county of Norfolk, immersed in pure aviation history. It takes considerable planning for events like these to happen, some are only possible once every few years, don’t take a chance, don’t miss the opportunity to widen your ‘Portfolio’ of imagery, we look forward to you joining us for these unique events!
Exact itinerary and joining instructions to follow.
COAP exclusive access is planned to start at 13.00 with an introduction by museum staff and finish at 17.00.
These shoots suit all levels of photography experience, from mobile phones to professional mirrorless gear and everything in between. Our experts are on hand to ensure everyone captures unique imagery.
