The Baltasound & Uyeasound regattas have carried on after the RAF pull-out and you would probably recognise some of the locals still involved.<br />I'd welcome any material (after 2 & a half yrs of the blog the cupboard is getting a bit bare). There is an email address on the site if that would make things easier. Unfortunately it's still an expensive place to get to and most of the domestic site will have changed since your days - only the Guardroom, Ice Cap & Power House still remaining.<br />Thanks for getting in touch,<br />GordonGordon Carlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360114502865961238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171230357168117236.post-84325357731015977502012-06-11T11:26:22.062+01:002012-06-11T11:26:22.062+01:00Gordon, I was at Saxa 75 to 76 and I worked with N...Gordon, I was at Saxa 75 to 76 and I worked with Nick Broom for a while and thanks to this article we have made contact again. I have grand memories of the place, I lived in a croft, did loads of sailing (Flt Lt Bill Swash was a Controller and our OIC Sailing in 1975). I have some photo's of sailing and our achievements in 76 and some press clippings from Baltasound Regatta that you might like to see, will sort out and post soon. A great site Gordon, has brought back some wonderful memories. I have longed to have a visit and I think its about time I finally did something about that!

Plenty of other things on other subjects left (but always looking for more!)<br />Cheers<br />GordonGordon Carlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360114502865961238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171230357168117236.post-82853536102883415262012-05-13T22:13:49.718+01:002012-05-13T22:13:49.718+01:00Great to read.
