Station description

Stan Judson from the Royal Signals was shown a site by his officer, Lieutenant Wilf Bradley. He described it as being in a roll top desk, with a concealed compartment in the back. The desk was in the Estate Office of a large house. It is possible that it was located at one of the sites in Sutherland instead. 

A correspondent of Geoff Leet in 2004 mentioned that his father and the schoolmaster at Latheron walked out at night for secret intelligence gathering. At the end of the war, everything was burned leaving no trace. They were presumably part of the observer network.
