It’s scary stuff ! Ruby I agree…….
“The show of strength includes high-tech radar tracking Rapier missile batteries ready to bring down any hostile aircraft.
Troops were seen setting the systems up on Blackheath and Oxleas Meadow, both in southeast London, at Barn Hill in Epping Forest, Essex, and on the banks of William Girling Reservoir in Enfield, Middlesex.
Smaller launchers for Starstreak high-velocity rockets are in place on the roofs of the Lexington Building in Bow and Fred Wigg Tower in Leytonstone, on either side of the Olympic park at Stratford in east London.
Residents of Fred Wigg Tower lost a High Court bid this week to block the missiles from being put on their block over safety fears.”
Personally I’m terrified of going anywhere near the Capital.
However I suppose we shouldn’t be too alarmed as the MoD leaflet states that the missiles
would only be deployed as a last resort. ….well I’m sure that makes everyone feel safer! :shock:
