Gun
operations room

This room is a hive of
activity as the soldiers work hard to monitor the
movement of aircraft in the skies.
Reconstructing this
room was tough, said the curator, Ms Tan Teng Teng.
Said Ms Tan:
"During the trial exhibition in 1992, we found
out that one of the visitors used to work in gun
operations. We called him and he helped us to
recreate the room."
He worked with a
map-maker to produce the map on the table.
But he could not
remember everything. So Ms Tan got pictures of other
bunkers and other plotting operations of the same
period and slowly pieced together the room visitors
now see.
