The company is Turbine Motor Works and the undertake engine overhaul for large aircraft. They are curently overhauling GE CF6-80A2 for a B767 operator. It is good to see that an aviation connection continues.
The OM offers excellent potential for the future and it is this potential that I would like to see pay for its sympathetic renovation, preservation and upkeep.

Is it common to have the ops room in the station HQ?

According to 'British Military Airfield Architecture' by Paul Francis;

"The standard operations room for stations under the Air Defence of Great Britain Scheme was a brick-built bungalow-like building to 1161/24. It accommodated up to three squadrons. At bomber stations a similar building (1211/24) was used, built immediately behind the station headquarters and connected to it by a corridor. At fighter stations it was often a detached building which required a basement to house a heating chamber. This was omitted at most bomber stations as the operations room was heated from a heating chamber in SHQ."

Any help ?
