We also have a Facebook page and Twitter feed, so rather than post the same things in multiple places (at least for now), we’re linking them together.
Below, you can see our latest news on Facebook – feel free to follow us on Facebook and post a comment there.
As always our friend Al at Portadown Post has come up with the goodies! This is a great video taken at 31 Group HQ in Lisburn in the late 80s and shows much of the equipment that we are restoring too.
Things are a bit quiet for us at the moment because we can't visit the bunker during lockdown. There is some activity behind the scenes in 28 Group Labs though.

Stay safe and we hope to be posting more content soon.
