Gatwick it is. :)

Anyone know the tower type?
No upstand beam on the roof so not a Watch Office for Night Fighter Stations.
It looks more like a Watch Office for All Commands than anything else.

Shoot! Glad I didn't try to hard. I would never have thought it would be Gatwick.

I'd never have guessed it either. I wonder where the site is now and what's on it!

I did, but purely because of an other post made yesterday!

The Watch Office looks identical to Llandows' to me, which is a 518/40.
Great to see the Fighter pens in detail.

Not a Watch Office with Met Section 518/40, as there's no stairwell sticking out the back. :)

True! Llandows' was with a Met section, would that have made the difference?

I would go (now!) with 12779/41, counting windows and doorways. I wonder if it has one of those late war glass cupolas on the roof?

As this once popular quiz has been resurrected, not to step on PNK toes as he correctly got Gatwick, can I just throw in a quick one,
