WWII Shropshire, RAF Tilstock - technical site Operations Block (1)
A large Operations Block with a labyrinth of rooms that typically comprised a meteorological office, wireless transmission and general communications rooms. There would also have been a crew briefing room, and smaller rooms for plant, offices and rest rooms. Ops Blocks as they were referred to were the nerve centres for all flight operations during WW2.
