A not so new one - I think!

a) In UK?

b) Royal Navy?*

c) Yeovilton or Culdrose?

*Based on 3 storie ATC Towers being associated with RN Airfields

In the UK but not Yeovilton or Culdrose.

Photo dates from c. 1950 as witness the MF/DF loop on the left.

How about St Mawgan?

Not St Mawgan.

RNAS Lee-on-Solent?

Not RNAS Lee-on-Solent and to my knowledge the tower in the photo has no known naval connection.

Is it by any chance the original Heathrow tower?

Duckbutt

It is indeed.

Taken in 1949 or 1950 when Heathrow looked like this from the air:

And Heathrow was the only London Airport:

It's yours Duckbutt

Thanks, your photo looks like a still about 8 minutes into the clip at http://youtube.com/watch?v=o-svhmFd214&feature=related . I was going to be a real smart***e and say that the wingtip in the photo looks like that of BOAC Constellation G-AHEJ but that would be perhaps a bit over the top!

Where do you think this is?

Cricklewood?

Not Cricklewood

RAF Hendon ?

Not Hendon nor the Home Counties.

Mannheim, Germany?

Not Manheimm but getting warmer.

In the early 1940's there was a connection (in name only) with a colourful aristocrat who died a bit before the photo was taken in the 1920's. I would imagine his name would be familiar to just about everyone on this forum.

Uuuummm ! FRIEDRIKSHAVEN ??? Keith.

Sorry Keith, not Friedrikshaven.

Germany?

Wiesbaden?

Franz Josef? If so, Open House.
