The star SK 80 in the SMC is classified as 07Iaf by Walborn (1976) who notes that it is the only confirmed Of star in that Galaxy known to date. A knowledge of the mass loss properties of OB stars in the Magellanic Clouds is of interest because of the recent evidence that such stars show reduced mass loss properties than their galactic counterparts (Hutchings 1980) and for Of stars because of the possible link between such stars and Pop I transition WNL stars (Conti 1976).

We have secured HIRES IUE and optical spectra of SK 80 and have attempted to derive the mass loss rate from these data.
