Papers of Cyril Thomas Fairchild (1916-2002)
From: Letter in the AtticCyril Thomas Fairchild was an amateur radio enthusiast during the late 1930s. These papers relate to the confiscation of his equipment and his work for the government before and after the Second World War as an interceptor of enemy radio signals for the Radio Security Service (RSS) at Arkley, near Barnet, Hertfordshire. The archive contains several letters written after the war from colleagues that CTF worked with at Barnet and a letter from Russia written in 1962 from the Central Radio Club of the USSR which suggests that he may have still been working for the government during the cold war. CTF was also in touch with a fellow radio amateur (Reg Silvey) in the Falklands and was able to pass on a message to his family during the Falklands War.
