RAF Saxa Vord Exhibition
About
When in Shetland, RAF Saxa Vord Exhibition is the local business at Saxa Vord, Shetland ZE2 9EQ, United Kingdom, an address that places it on Unst in the far north of the islands. Lerwick, Scalloway, Brae, Yell, Unst, Whalsay and Bressay sit across the same spread of nearby places, so the museum is within reach of the main settlements.
Operating as a museum, RAF Saxa Vord Exhibition keeps a website at https://www.forces.net/news/new-shetland-radar-station-set-open, which carries its updates and opening arrangements. A 5 out of 5 average across 10 reviews gives a measure of how visitors regard the exhibition. One photograph accompanies the listing, so the site can be seen beforehand.
British islands were fortified in both world wars, and concrete coastal defences still stand on several, so the radar station fits a wider pattern of island military heritage. Rain falls throughout the year on British islands, and Atlantic gales are common in autumn and winter, so a visit suits a settled day. Strong tides surround British islands, and the Channel Islands have some of the world's largest tidal ranges.
