At the meeting of the LRS on 26th February 2014 we had the rare opportunity to hear an actual operator with the Special Operations Executive (SOE) describe his experiences 70 years ago during WWII. André Saunders GM3VLB introduced Bob McFarlane, who outlined the background, training and radios used by the SOE and then described his experiences in Yugoslavia, Ceylon, Malaya and Japan, with many pictures.
