Mystery control tower

Any ideas about this control tower? It looks similar in design to the one still standing at Nicosia albeit it's a lot smaller than the Nicosia one but could it have been at one of the other 7 airfields on Cyprus during or just after WW2.

Sorry, I wasn't aware this had been blocked by ARGs copyright filter; some things they allow and others they block.
I've got no means of getting a screenshot as I don't have the original, however it was published in Aeroplane Monthly in the May 2023 edition which I personally never saw.
OR you can subscribe to the Airfield Research Group forum; it's very interesting; costs just £12 for a year.

Well done I42.
Note the unusual curved frontage very similar to Nicosia and the 'upside down' numeral '1'

No. There is a vague similarity though.
The VCR is 'similar' in shape but the bit between the VCR and the ground is totally different.
