A History of RAF Skaw (AMES 56) – The Out-Post – Issue 4

Issue No 4 of the RAF Skaw Outpost was released in August 1941. It was the first produced with the aid of a duplicator  - the first 3 issues were typewritten and copied using carbon paper. Very few were circulated and I know of none which have survived. The issues I have had access to have been photocopied and scanned on a number of occasions and, therefore, the reproduction quality is very poor.

I have copies of 10 issues of the magazine and intend to publish them all eventually. The ten editions I have are listed below but I would love to hear from anyone who has other editions they are prepared to let me copy:
1. RAF Skaw - Outpost - Issue No 4 Aug 1941
2. RAF Skaw - Outpost - Issue No 6 Oct 1941
3. RAF Skaw - Outpost - Issue No 7 Nov 1941
4. RAF Skaw - Outpost - Issue No 8 Christmas 1941
5. RAF Skaw - Outpost - Issue No 9 - Jan 1942
6. RAF Skaw - Outpost- Issue Nos 10 &11 Feb-Mar 1942
