CONTENTS LIST – A History of RAF Saxa Vord (Updated 20/3/19))
I have finally added links to this contents list - it will be updated at intervals. The sections are dated and can also be located using the Blog Archive on the right-hand side of the opening page. If anyone notices mistakes I’d appreciate it if they would let me know: gordon.carleATgmail.com (replace AT with @)).
The Google Search facility near the top right of the opening page searches just within this blog and seems to function quite well.

  1. Hi I am 18 months from retirement from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), after 40 years in uniform 15 of them in the RAF. On 2nd Dec I will be awarded my NATO medal for my tour of duty in Kandahar Afghanistan. As part of the citation I looked up RAF Saxa Vord, as your previous service is commented on at these presentations, and found this site. I am now a SQNLDR (RAAF abbreviation convention) but in 1987 I was FltLt Shawn Fitz-Gerald and was the last Officer Commanding Shetland Radar. I think you may have me down as Sean Fitzpatrick - close but no coconut8~). The memories did come flooding back, not all good sadly however a lot of water has flowed betwixt then and now. You are doing a good job keeping this informal and fun history alive well done

    1. Thanks for that - the blog is really just as good as other peoples memories! I remember happy times in Singapore working with 3 & 75 Sqns RAAF from Butterworth and a couple of detachments to Western Hill with its RAAF/RAF personnel.. Name changed.
