Pulling into the car park at the Bicester Heritage Centre for the G1MRA 75th birthday celebrations, and dodging a Tiger Moth that was being pushed across the road, was, "That's a very modelable control tower".
There's a definite hint of the Airfix version about it, even though it looks completely different.
The heritage centre is based on a preserved airfield - you can read the full story on their website. It's still operational, there were gliders being towed skyward as I watched.
Obvioulsy this isn't going to be much use to railway modellers, but if you fancied a corner of airfield on your layout, you could do worse than take a proper look at Bicester. As well as the control tower, there are some cracking hangers.
