View across the airfield from the control tower. In the foreground is the "windsock". In addition, the concrete pad ’Signal Squares’ can be seen. The "squares" were a bit archaic by this time, however, gave fliers some readable info about landing conditions, and positively identified the base so radio transmissions could be avoided.
In the distance can be seen the east side T2 (Squadrons) hanger. Hard stands 21-34 can be seen from left to right with their parked aircraft. The farm house on the east side of the field can be seen in the distance to the right.
