RAF Anstruther
These buildings stood behind the guardroom on the domestic site of RAF Anstruther.
All have now been demolished. The one nearest the camera is believed to have been the armoury and the others may have been part of the Police Flight which was normally very close to the guardroom.
Thanks to Mr Dennis Anderson who served here in the 1950s for the information.

Guardroom, RAF Anstruther
The guardroom to the former domestic site of RAF Anstruther. Behind me were the barrack blocks for the RAF station which went on to see service as Anstruther's holiday village and have now been pulled down and a modern development is now taking place. The buildings to the right of the old guardroom on Toll Road were married quarters for other ranks.
RAF Anstruther was part of the Chain Home system (CH). Chain Home was the world's first RADAR system to see active service. CH was developed in the pre war years by a team led by Watson Watt who to my mind was a bit of an unsung hero of the time. It was primitive, but when your back's against the wall you go with what you have got. In 1939 Britain did and CH worked.
RAF Anstruther's operational site and its masts were, to the best of my ability, thought to have been in the area of NO5608. This area went on to become the site of the cold war "secret bunker". Totally open to corrections please email me via the site. Thanks to James Allan and Dennis Anderson for further information about the station.

Taeping Close
New residential development in Cellardyke. The street is named after the tea clipper "Taeping" made famous in a Tea Race with the clipper "Ariel". The two ships raced each other from China and arrived in London Docks within 10 minutes of each other. Taeping was first to arrive, but the owners agreed to share the 10 shillings per ton bonus for the first tea landed at the docks.

Caravan site
Since this aerial photo was taken, many of these caravans have been removed and plans are afoot to develop a permanent estate of houses and shops, provisionally entitled 'Silverdykes village' on the site.
