    I have been doing some research and have learned of Royal Air Force ground staff manning a radio station at Newtownbutler in County Fermanagh.

    It is described as being "On a hill along a little road from Mullanahorn Bridge in the townland of Killyroo"

    Does anyone have any information relating to this?

    I am interested in knowing what it was used for and if anything remains.

    Just thinking out loud.
    When not associated with any local bases it was probably concerned with Wireless interception for SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) and or triangulation of Signals to identify locations where signals originated.

    I only know of the one located between Belleek and garrison, it was dismantled in or about 1947-48. ( Derrnacross).
    I can post up a little in relation to it but alas no photo of it.

    I would be inclined to agree with Tom , it is almost certain that it did not play a part in the Killadeas / Castle Archdale systems.
