Hi,

I am searching for any pictures of the control tower at Earls Colne airfield whilst in use during WWII - specifically, any pictures of the interior and the main clock which would have been used to start missions, time raids etc..

A long shot i know, but any info (personal pictures, possible books, web sites etc..) would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Mark

Hi,

sorry if this isn't in the right place, but am trying to find pictures of the control tower at Earls Colne (station 358 ) during WWII, and even better, any interior pictures whilst it was in use. I cant find any on the threads i have looked at, so thought i'd throw it out there.

Any personal pics, or suggestions for books/websites would be gratefully appreciated.

Mark
