Stumbled on this website and there are at least 3 photos of watch offices, probably all civilian locations. I have no idea where they are.

3rd line centre; no idea but similar in position to post war Hatfield
4th line far right are both the same airfield; I would suggest the the second one in is a clubhouse rather than watch office.
There is/was a similar looking clubhouse at Redhill but I don't think it's there.

I Guys I can confirm the picture is not at Sradishall as I have a slide taken in 1969 of Sradishall and the tower is not the same as the Black and white photo.
On my slide the steps go up the side of the in brick like Hemswell's tower .
Also the V.C.R on the black and white photo is at one corner .On my slide the V.C.R goes all the length of the roof .
I can confirm this as Steve As also a black and white photo of Sradishall with name across Painted the front .
Regards ,
Bomber .

That explains why I cant match the vehicle sheds on the left of the photograph.

Try again.

I think Waddington is a candidate.

Sorry but it isn't Waddington either . Waddington's world war Two tower is the Villa art deco style .
If you look at the photo at the bottom of the sky line you can clearly see hills in the distance .Their are no such hills either end of RAF Waddington .
Sorry Guys !!

Could it be Wattisham. Tower location and runway orientation match. Suffolk's not known for it's hills though.

Best I can do is Benson. Fairly straight hangar line helps a bit. I thought maybe Wyton but the buildings in the distance don't fit, nor does the distant hill; same with Cottesmore.
