USAAF control towers: Photos sought

Much appreciated AF. I’ll give that a go.

@Carol: Jim Clarey is your man. Phone the Old Buck number (01953 860806) and choose the relevant option…

Hi Rocketeer
Thank you for the offer of ‘now’ shots. Although, I am always interested, it leaves a possibility for something not being exactly as it was. If I have the original photo, there is no room for error.

My inspiration is the recreation of the Claude Grahame-White office at the RAF Museum where they have recreated it in minute detail just using a single black and white photograph for information.

Nice ones of basssingbourne inside around

Auster Fan: Indeed. Thank you. I’ll need to track down who you mean first!

Duggy: Great stuff. Thank you. That’s a good help.

@Carol: you could always drop into Old Buck in the Chippie and see him in person…?

Lots of photo’s here LINK – https://www.fold3.com/search/#query=Control+towers&offset=280&w=hbSH1CZcR
Including these two of Duxford.

Hi Auster Fan: Long time, no hear (my fault). Thank you for your advice. I will track him down. (ex-“Janie”)

Hi Rocketeer: How original would the items in the ‘new’ pics be? Most of the museums I have seen are only a percentage of total accuracy. This is simply because of availability of items. Hey! Show me the pics, regardless! I’m interested in all information.

THANK YOU.

If you need any now shots let me know. We are doing 25x B-24 bases in 72 hours. We did a similar tour of other towers 3 years ago.

You might want to make contact with the curator of the 453BG Museum at Old Buckenham. He may have some pics…
