Does anyone please have plans/drawings for, or the outer dimensions for the 12779/41 (mod 343/43) Control tower?
It is the type preserved at East Kirkby, but was also the same type used at RAF Worksop, now sadly long gone.
If you can help I’d be chuffed:).
Many thanks, Rad.

That was very quick- thank you very much for that one.:)
Regards Rad
P.s. Just had a good look at this site & there is a lot of work involved with a major rebuild of the tower alone.
As an ex AATC I have a bit of an interest in old control towers, if anyone from Methringham group read this I wish you all are succesful with this venture- with its history & significance, Metheringham deserves this TLC.
P.p.s. – there’s a well known Channel 4 programme that follows homes being rebuilt from derelicts under similar circumstances, is it worth approaching them to see if they’d be interested in following the towers restoration as a one off?
