Hi Mike, and welcome to the forums!
Now
that's interesting. Dollarbeg lies 2 miles to the south of the town of Dollar in Clackmannanshire, at the junction of the B9140 and the B913. The latter road leads to the Kincardine Bridge. Its a very isolated private house in its own grounds, and from 1941 to 1944 was the HQ of N0. 72 Wing RAF which controlled all the radar stations in Scotland.
The wing had a radar calibration flight at Turnhouse airfield (now Edinburgh airport)on 21/5/41, and from the end of March '41 had responsibility for all radar stations from the Tees to the Forth. At a later date they transferred stations to 73 wing in England to enable 72 to cover just Scotland, and on the disbandment of No. 79 Wing on 30/6/43, No. 72 took over stations in Ulster too. No 72 was disbanded itself on 15/5/44.
The house lay empty for many years, and was recently converted into flats. I don't have any pics unfortunately, as I wrote to the last owners several times over the years asking for permission to look around and never got an answer.
Do you have any more info yourself? Any relevant info would be in the
The National Archives of the United Kingdom at Kew, coded "AIR".
