Description
This is a leaflet produced by Upper Hayford Peace Camp, around 1982. Upper Hayford Peace Camp was established in April 1982 to protest the deployment of US nuclear weapons. Upper Hayford base was then home to six F1-11 planes armed with live nuclear weapons always on standby. This leaflet explains the history of the peace camp and the actions taken so far- including Blockades of the base and continued use of the site. At the time this leaflet was produced 9 protestors were living on the camo full-time, with 500 supporters coming and going at intervals. The leaflet explains the risks they are currently facing- including eviction and prosecution, and what people can do to help- including donations and more people to get involved.
There is an illustration of a dove in the lower right hand side on the back of the poster.
