He was a radar technician and would spend a month on the island before coming home to Uist for a month, so the Puff Inn was effectively his local and there is guy in the picture there who from behind looks suspiciously like my old man.

Unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to go to St Kilda myself.

He goes from a pub on the Isles of Scilly to an RAF bar on Unst. Good book: http://m.guardian.co.uk/books/2006/aug/12/travel.travelbooks?cat=books&type=article
