Airfield Control Tower
Airfix

The focal point on any wartime airfield was the control tower. Often a distinctive feature situated in a prominent position close to the runways, the tower housed most of the vital back-up services required to keep the base operational. In it was housed air traffic control, the meteorological office, tele-printer room and general offices. Various types of tower were built, ranging from small two storey brick buildings usually found on fighter stations to the large structures found today.
