Good ones Jeff.
For those wondering what the room is, it's the original, war time,ground-level 'Watch Office', in use before the 'Control Tower' was built later in WW2. The RAF (and civilian aviators) called their control rooms the 'Watch Office', with the American term 'Control Tower' not being used until much later in WW2.

Thanks Terry, I guess I could have included some info but I um err....okay, I was just feeling lazy.

Cheers,

Jeff

More good ones Jeff, and no problem re the info.
The wall shown, preserved in one of the original Duxford hangars, was rescued from Polebrook if my memory is correct (certainly from a WW2 8th USAAF base anyway), and is an original painting done directly onto the wall of one of the base building during WW2.
