A unique and poignant wartime memento containing the signatures of 125 airmen who were based at RAF Castletown during World War II is to be featured on a podcast as part of a Highland-wide initiative.
The memento â a tablecloth created by Isobel Custer â was loaned to the Castletown Heritage Society several years ago by her family and is often on view during wartime exhibitions at the groupâs heritage centre at Castlehill.
