    Default RAF Cranfield

    Some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranfield_Airport

    Watch Office (modified fort type)



    views from control room



    Fire section



    WWII Fire tender shed and night flying equipment store



    Motor transport sheds



    Station headquarters


    Sergeants mess


    Airmens quarters


    Cloud base projector


    Squadron/flight offices next to C-type hangar


    Detail of top right office. This was the office for the chief flying instructor and when Guy Gibson held that office he asked that the room be protected. The bulkhead clamps hold steel shutters in place (these are still present)
