It was EMA that used to need CCTV to see the RW27 holding points W1/2 and A1/2 because where the old ATC VCR was meant that these were blocked from sight by a combination of the terminal and the RFFS station.
Was one of a whole number of reasons (not least of which was how the new west pier of T1 would have blocked the view to M, H and G runway holding points) why they got the new tower and combined APP/AGL/ATE building whilst the old VCR and RADAR rooms were still serviceable (And are still in 24/7 use by Apron control and the Ops crews)
