Plan to convert former CFS HQ to a dwelling
 

Cotswold District Council has received an application to turn the former RAF Little Rissington Watch Tower, for many years the home of CFS, into a single dwelling.

The alternative is probably decay and disrepair.

Very nice! Five bedrooms and a granny flat.

...... but the stairs!!!

We had a look around SHQ, now 4 apartments. The developer had to retain all external features. Inside it was well CREEPY. They named each after an airfield, one was WHARTON (sic).

It is going to need a LOT of work...

Will one be allowed to keep a Pelican ?

But the VGS lives there. If they ever get re-started where do they go?

Sshh! Maybe this is the 'DIO basing review' being given away...:ugh:

You get lots for sale, fancy living in West Raynhams tower?

I will consider living in an old ATC Tower when someone invents circular-screen TVs ;)

They already did - not long after the ATC Towers were designed !

Zenith Porthole Style Television

All the early cathode ray tubes were round and TVs were fitted with rubber masks to creat the 4:3 rectangular screen. The initial shadow mask colour TV tubes (circa 1949) were also round

Ahhh ... another burst of PPRuNe enlightenment. Thanks, gents. :ok:
