WWII Berkshire: RAF Grove - Technical Site - Operations Block (1)
One of the more interesting survivors of airfields, the Ops Block was the nerve centre where all operations against the enemy were conceived and planned in great secrecy, and where aircrews were briefed before conducting operations. This Ops Room still has its wall mounted Mission Boards, although they have deteriorated considerably over the ensuing years. A pity no one has thought to preserve them.
