Photo of Station 131 Control Tower at Nuthampstead for 11 October 1944. This was a non-mission day though the Control Tower would have been in use for training and ferrying flights that day. No Control Tower log for 1944 has yet been found, though the 398th Control Tower Log - 1945 has been found.

Generally the bottom floor was where the weather group operated and aircraft operations was on the top floor.

Note:

  1. the truck on the iron web temporary road
  2. the upside down "29" marker, probably to mark runway "29".
  3. the catwalk on the 2nd floor and ladders to the roof.
