Sorry to be slow in responding, Sir! That was RAF Stanley, mid-1983, and before the new double-glazed tinted window units arrived from UK. In that climate you can imagine that a single sheet of perspex was an inadequate option, perpetually misting up and leaking like a sieve round the wooden framing. I blame the Harriers for shooting 7 shades of s**t out of the tower the year previously



Anyway, same time and place, this time with an on-topic badly-done composite photo taken outside
