Simon Hoare MP visited the Museum yesterday, touring the new Cold War exhibition with Museum Director Fritha Costain. He also explored the permanent galleries and went behind the scenes in the Corps Archive to view historic books and records.

Simon has a personal connection to the Royal Signals, as his father served with the Corps during National Service. We are grateful for his continued support and advocacy of the Museum.
