Watch office at RAF Cark with a smaller Fighter Satellite Watch Office to the right. The airfield was constructed for fighters in late 1940 but appears to have been mainly used for anti-aircraft training and later for pilot training.

Control Tower at Rattlesden Airfield, Suffolk with T2 hangar in background. This airfield opened in 1942 and from 1943 to 1945 was home to the B-17 Flying Fortresses of the US 708th, 709th, 710th and 711th Bombardment Squadrons of the 447th Bomb Group (Heavy). It was a Bloodhound Missile station for the RAF in the 1960s. Today the tower forms the clubhouse for the local gliding club.
