39 Radar Station RAAF was established at Mount Goodwin near Port Keats on 17 August 1942

Lindsay Jasper was stationed at Port Keats on at least 2 occasions when he served in the RAAF ( his "muster" was Guard) during World War II. Lindsay Jasper fondly remembered Father Docherty (who I understand is buried at Port Keats Mission) and Brother John Pye who were the two missionaries in charge at Port Keats during WW2. Lindsay's son David thinks his father actually lived there with Father Docherty and Brother Pye on the mission and he assumes (although he never asked him) that he was one of the guards at the 39 Radar Station RAAF.
