As luck would have, all was ready when the Taceval team arrived. Entered the bombproof tar paper shack, passed through the outer door, through the inner air lock (to keep cold air in) and saw the super new and pristine display boards.
The inner door was spring loaded shut. As it slammed EVERY strip fell off the wall. Display 100%, resilience 0%.
Akrotiri 1965-67 - Ops Room (NO airlock or air conditioning!) had acetate strips with chinagraph writing but no magnets, just two holes drilled in acetate strip which fitted onto two nails in the large wall-mounted Ops Board
