This is the last issue of "The Out-Post" which In
have a copy of. The original copy belongs to Sammy Sjoberg and I am very grateful to him for allowing me
to reproduce it. The quality of production is higher than any of the previous
editions I have seen and it features the names of a number of servicemen who
were at RAF Skaw at the time. The most renowned of these (in Shetland at
least), is the late Tom "Tammy" Anderson, who was to become famous
for his work in preserving Shetland fiddle music.
The issue also indicates that there was a significant degree
of cooperation (and rivalry) between the personnel of the RAF Chain Home
Station at Skaw and the Admiralty Coastal Defence U Boat radar on Saxa Vord
(Admiralty Experimental Station 4). In addition, the magazine draws attention to the importance of
entertainment (shows and cinema) and the integration with the local community
(dances and sale of work in Baltasound).
