A fascinating watch. Because we had the nukes back then, we can do what we do today! Let’s hope we don’t have reopen the site.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

It's been great to hear people's views and how this place and its history continues, thanks very much Gary for watching! Sithee soon x

[@iaincphotography6051]

As a kid I remember the Cuba crisis and I couldn't understand why it was wrong for the Russians to have nuclear weapons in Cuba but it was OK for the USA to have their weapons here in the UK and in Germany. But the USA decided if there was to be a third world war they wanted to fight it in Europe where the first two had been fought! Good vlog Mali and Neal.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Great to read all the details and how each person has a different connection. Thanks Iain

[@jonrooney]

Stunning titles for your pictures, no less than genius, again! Top drawer comedy and art tapering into a 'see thee!'. Brilliant stuff as usual.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Big thanks Ron, very kind, thanks for watching.

[@photowalk.podcast]

Wonderful day spent together Mali, thoroughly enjoyed your company. I saw a note below from @garygough - in terms of this airfield it would never open again, not least because the only piece of runway left is the centre point. Everything else was dug up and used to lay the foundations for the A34 bypass around the town. The hangers now house cars and stuff... and the land was sold back to the people for the princely sum of £1. A real privilege to see you at work Mali, it really was.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Not just Greenham but our day before, thank you so much for great company, meeting the clan and a great curry, OH EYE! I'll be seeing you soon. Sithee

[@scotty4418]

That intro took me back Mali, had Frankie Goes to Hollywoods' Two Tribes and Queen's Hammer to Fall running through my head watching this. You certainly bagged some lovely images from your visit and enjoyed listening to Neale's input on the location

[@wednesdaythroughthelens830]

The protestors - brilliant label for the image. (We never discussed this properly on our meet up!!) we will do that next time 👍

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks very much Martin

[@MHLandscape]

Very powerful video, i wasnt around during the crisis, but it must have been terrifying. Love how nature has the ability to reclaim.

[@kellymitchell5428]

I don’t remember from this time was 6-8 years in the early eighties but I remember the sirens. One of this very vivid memories. Good video ❤

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

What an intro !! What an episode!! Really enjoyed this one on many levels !!

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Aah one that got away! Thanks buddy 😍👍 very kind

[@chrispietryga8710]

Duck and cover. What a blast!.. Another enjoyable video😎

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thank you so very much 😎👍

[@simonlawphotography]

Duck and cover! Not sure how the door lent against an inside wall was going to save us. Nice to see nature taking over at the common.

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Let's hope it never happen's again. It is an absolutely huge site by the looks of things. A great history lesson from Neil. Glad you got some image's to record some what is there still. I'm trying to catch up with your video's as we have been on holiday. Atb.

[@famshw7344]

I did go back in 2012 to see the changes to the Commons and I was happy to see how nature has overtaken the site.

[@garyhill3752]

I used to work in Newbury in the late eighties and sometimes would drive past greenham common on my way to work

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks for watching Gary

[@martinbuttrick]

That was great Mali very thought provoking thanks

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks you very much Martin

[@jefffiles9209]

Very interesting piece Mali and good to see nature reclaim what was rightfully hers! Liked the intro but I remember it from the other side of the wire. I was there in '87 on perimeter guarding duties, at the time there was 3/4 protester sites dotted around and saw some very strange sights and goings on! One thing that stood out was the fab facilities, particularly the food outlets. Which I'm told was occasionally exchanged for some protester company! Wealthy activists also had lawyers close-by to ensure we carried out our duties correctly...... Happy times

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

A complex situation indeed, some really interesting views and information from first hand experience . Thanks very much for watching.

[@jefffiles9209]

@Mali Davies Photography forgot to say, Loved the pictures and your choice of titles are always fantastic 👍🏻👏🏻

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks so much Jeff, means a lot 👍

[@philbraithwaite1316]

Great stuff Mali, I remember that time well (I'm now 63). In fact one of my ex-girlfriends ended up at that camp. The Photowalk podcast, a must listen every week!

[@photowalk.podcast]

Ah, so you're the 'other listener' Phil lol

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

The other other listener, bloody hell Phil you don't look my age! Thanks so much for watching!

[@philbraithwaite1316]

[@richardtierney7724]

Went there when it was operarional to watch an air show one year.... Cannot believe how nature has reclaimed the site....

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Amazing aircraft would of been on display no doubt. It is crazy how overgrown it is. Thanks very much RIchard

[@famshw7344]

I was one of the servicemen who slept just a walking distance away from 96 nuclear missiles, but I'll be honest, I felt safer then than I do now with the war hawks salivating over the fight in Ukraine. We are much more at risk of nuclear war now than we ever were during RAF Greenham Common's hay day.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks very much for watching.

[@juliec70]

Great vlog Mali very powerful i remember that

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Big thanks Julie, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment

[@suebyrne7739]

I love the images you made!

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thank you very much

[@iainmc9859]

Need I say it, excellent shots. The fear of Nuclear War was a great shadow over my youth and I was one of those people at the biggest demonstration in the early 80's linking hands. Although I came from a big city I'd never seen so many people in my life, many more than the biggest football stadium that I've ever been to. I still live close to one of the biggest nuclear 'targets' in Western Europe and have only two degrees of separation between myself and those involved in the greatest waste of taxpayer's money. Not a pacifist but can see better conventional uses for the cash.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks Iain and I think I know where you mean. Take care and I''ll sithee!

[@markedwards4787]

Wow! awesome pics at the end Mali. Hope you're well sir.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks very much Mark, eye alls good, plenty more videos to come 😎👍 hope your doing very well and getting out with the camera?

[@markedwards4787]

@@MaliDaviesPhotography Got to be honest... been busy! so not so much recently :\ I need to get another workshop sorted with u to kick myself up the wotsit.

[@brianhenno4744]

Wow I remember being on a work course, at thatcham, so went to have a look at the protests, it reminds me of the same thing going on in Burtonwood ,a couple of years earlier Great vlog mal It was like watching a pair of book ends, you and neal alike in so many ways😂, 👌👏👏

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks Brian! Burtonwood was perhaps a bit before my time, I hope no one noticed my spelling mistake.

[@jasoneldridgephotography]

I am approaching 50 (very soon) and remember some of this in the states during the 80's but I think most of the fear had dwindled off by then. Mostly I remember all of the cold war movies from the time. Let's all hope we never have to experience that level of fear again... If everyone was a photographer and taught to see the inherent beauty in the world we live in, perhaps it would be a much better place. Well done Mali! Also the cow poo made me laugh!

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

We are both closing in on 50 then! Glad I could make you laugh. thanks very much for watching and taking the time to comment

[@colmpharrellphoto]

Really enjoyed this one Mali!

Thanks very much Colm

[@raymondludlow5970]

Thank you Great vid

Big thanks Raymond

[@musiqueetmontagne]

However awful the prospect of any nuclear war is, for that very reason, we need to arm ourselves to the hilt to avoid it. The world is as dangerous a place as it's ever been, we must retain a strong deterrent.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks for watching.

[@paulcunninghamw00dlandph0t0]

I really enjoyed that. I remember growing up in the 70’s and living through the 80s when they showed the movie ‘threads’ I was scared sh@;:less watching it. I always listened to the news thinking we would be attacked by the Soviet Union. Lol Lovely shot at the end of the video and enjoyed the history from Neil. ❤

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

It's a crazy memory isn't it, the idea of Threads was terrifying, I was perhaps to young to watch that but I did lol

[@ray_wilton]

Lucky to have that place on my doorstep. The site generates so much money for charities. But if you want trees you could have gone to Bowdown Woods just adjacent.

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Thanks for the hat tip on the woods, I will inform Neale about it. I do love my trees. Thanks so much for watching

[@tompetersphotography]

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Fantastic video. Brings back so many memories of thinking how hiding under a table with a mattress on was going to stop us being incinerated. Great history from Neal as well. Love the Photowalk. See thee 🙏

Brothers (in arms) from a different mother ;)

[@famshw7344]

As much praise as the Peace Women got/get for protesting the base, yes the base is gone, but the threat of nuclear war is as real as it was in 1962. At least Reagan and Gorbachev had elements of restraint at that time. NATO and Russia could go at it any minute...

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Cheered me right up. I’ll be honest straight up. They would of done it already and you know what fear is a great way to control people. I live for today and they can do what they want I’m not stopping my life for worry and fear anymore.
