Does anyone know a web reference for Royal Observer Corps group maps showing ROC posts , sector and group and the post linking into twos and threes ?

I have a works list some where, it's not a map but grid refs of all roc builds in the uk up to 1991. I shall pm you when I have been in the loft! GF.
 
I'm not quite sure what exactly you want - and it also depends on which time frame.

Half the posts were closed in 1968 so those will not be shown on later maps - unfortunatly, earlier maps pre 1968 are very rare. I have a full size UK one from 1972 and some smaller group ones for York, Durham, Carlise, and Lincolnshie groups of various dates all post 1968.

I have two editions of the Shedule of Monitoring Posts - one is 1968 before half of them were closed and one is the final copy made in 1989. They dont have maps but they give grid references, private cirvuit numbers, height above sea level, cluster, number etc.

What exactly do you want them for though?
 
One of my mates put them all together into both a Tom Tom file, an a google earth .KMZ. I don't have a link, but it's on google out there somewhere!
 
I have them all on Memory Map but no cluster info. Easy enough to export the basic position data to other formats if that helps?
 
- i will put it on my list of things to do! (which by the way is quite long) give me a couple of weeks
 
ROc maps

This is the kind of item, ive had some private replies thanks to all who have replied to me .its a group and sector map if this was available, otherwise it would be a good thing to market esp with closed dates on. This is just for interest as the locations etc are available elsewhere if you know where to look. It does however bring a understanding if you are visiting an area
