This is a map showing likely nuclear strike targets in the UK in the 60s and 70s.
The extreme south westerly target is Newquay, where I spent my childhood. From there I went to college and to work in London and after I married we moved to Medway. That's the extreme south east target.
Funnily enough my generation never worried about nuclear war. Nukes had always existed to us and were a short of abstract threat, like the sun going out.
Medway is now a University town offering postgrad degrees in engineering subjects. The colleges are located on what was the naval base.
A Russian mature student was fiddling with a GPS at the Uny when he exclaimed in delight to see the coordinates. Apparently he used to feed targets into the Soviet missiles buy never knew where they were.
Now he did.
