EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of bomb disposal operations in Northern Ireland during the turbulent years of the Troubles. Taken in 1977 on Templemore Avenue in East Belfast, it shows a Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) soldier skillfully maneuvering the "Wheelbarrow" or Robot Bomb Disposal Vehicle to deal with a suspect car. The vehicle, a remotely-controlled innovation introduced in the mid-1970s, was a crucial tool in the fight against the increasing number of bombs planted on the streets. The image is part of a group of four photographs documenting the use of this groundbreaking technology during this period. The Wheelbarrow, a precursor to modern bomb disposal robots, was instrumental in safely removing explosives from public areas, thereby minimizing the risk to civilians and military personnel. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the dangerous and often unpredictable nature of bomb disposal work during a time of political unrest. The determination and focus of the soldier, as he carefully navigates the vehicle towards the suspect car, underscores the bravery and professionalism of those who served in the RAOC during this period. The photograph is an important historical record of the efforts made to maintain peace and security in Northern Ireland between 1969 and 2007. It serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the military personnel who faced the challenges of bomb disposal during this tumultuous era.
