Hi, I have read the Posts on this forum with great interest. I have just returned to London after my annual trip home to Shetland in the Summer. This year I something I never did when I was younger - went up to the top of Mossy Hill. In former times I used to wander all over the hills. My father had a quite a few stories about the war. His father in Lerwick had a wooden leg courtesy of the Somme but was nevertheless part of the Home Guard. My father told me that 1945 a Chain Home radar mast (was it also located at Mossy Hill?) was suddenly left abandoned. He then climbed all the way up it (over 400 ft. high). Later as a senior official for the SIC Dad was involved in Civil Defence exercises. I remember him telling me all about it. Anyway, on the West Side of Mossy hill at a level far below where the radar dishes were beside the road near Rerwick, I was surprised to see the concrete entrance to a shelter of some kind. It seemed odd to me that there should be a bunker hundreds of feet below the summit?
