Another unique view of the same operation taken from the Airmen's accommodation block.  The small building more or less in the centre is a pre-war building, soon to be demolished, and the aerial mast on the left was one of a pair that are clearly visible on a 1949 aerial photograph and probably on one taken in 1945.  It is therefore possible that they were erected by the Japanese and may even pre-date 1941 when the site was a Royal Signals wireless station - possibly wireless telephony.  Has anyone any more precise information?
