An RAF radar station on Britain's most northerly inhabited island is to be mothballed, it has been confirmed.
Saxa Vord on Unst will close "in all but name", the Ministry of Defence has said. About 100 of the early warning base's 110 jobs will go by next April.
The announcement is a blow to the economy of the island, which has about 700 inhabitants, many of whom are dependent on the base.
