The photographs below show the arrival of some of the radar equipment on Unst in 1955. The main landing site was alongside the pier at Baltasound. Landing Craft were used as they were able to make use of the slip built by Marines during the Second World War - the slip was intended for use by Flying Boats.

About Me
- Gordon Carle
- The aim of this site is to preserve memories of RAF Saxa Vord for service personnel and local civilians. I spent 22 years in the RAF as a Fighter Controller and was at RAF Saxa Vord from November 1967 until March 1969. In 1988 I left the RAF and settled in Shetland and have lived here ever since. I am always on the lookout for suitable material and would appreciate it if anyone can help out with photos and/or printable anecdotes. I am also anxious to ensure that the material on the site is accurate and would be grateful if anyone who notices mistakes, or believes that photos have been incorrectly credited, would contact me.
