Thanks for the suggestions.

Have you tried obtaining some of the books previously published on UK airfields including the relevant ‘Action Stations’ volume (I think the series is now being revised and updated) as well as asking the Yorkshire Air Museum and the UK’s Airfield Research Group?

I have never been there myself and, according to the UK Control Towers website, the tower (latterly v derelict I think) has now been demolished.
