Listed on Amazon and other online bookstores with a publishing date of 31 Jan. 254 pages and summarised as follows:
With histories of each individual station, this book shows how the radar chain operated, how the radar information was processed and used for the air defence of Scotland, and what it was like to live and work on these mostly very remote sites. Featuring many unpublished photographs taken during the war, as well as first-hand accounts from servicemen and women who served on these stations, for the first time this book gives an accurate account of the early warning and navigational aid stations in Scotland and the vital role they played in the Second World War.
Looks interesting.

Anyone seen any copies of this yet? Amazon are still showing 1st April 2022 but have it as "Temporarily out of stock. We are working hard to be back in stock as soon as possible. "
Looks as if there might be another delay in publication.
