Agree with MAINJAFAD - the Air Defence Radar Museum to the north east of Norwich is a must - it hosts much of the history of ground-based air defence of the UK during the Cold War as well as some of the equipment from that era including the Operations Room (exactly as we left it when we moved back into the bunker in the early 90s), a bloodhound missile system and equipment used at the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System site at RAF Fylingdales.

The Association of RAF Fighter Control Officers could also assist with identifying key personalities from the Cold War era and putting you in contact with the controllers/master controllers/sector controllers etc who commanded and controlled the airborne QRA(I) and supporting aircraft during interceptions of Soviet Union bomber and recce aircraft approaching the UK. They can also assist with identifying Mission Crew from the BMEWS site at RAF Fylingdales. Send a PM if you need contact details for the Association.
