Firepower Museum

The records maintained at the Firepower Museum, Woolwich, London contain data, photographs and film of the Royal Artillery's history until 1990.

To bring the records up to date, the U.K.’s twenty two R.A. regiments have been asked to contribute a small sum of money to enable the R.A. Historical Trust to set up imaginatively designed technological displays depicting the ever changing face of Britain’s Gunners.

On Saturday, 7th May a team from 105 Regiment R.A. (V.) will set off from Artillery House, Colinton, Edinburgh at 11.45 am to cycle to Woolwich in a bid to raise £3000. The time ball team led by RSM Craig Roxby has been training hard during the last few weeks as they hope to cover 470 miles in four days.

One of the battery’s field gun’s will fire to announce the start of the epic trip.
