One of the most iconic structures at Upper Heyford is the Control Tower. Once a nerve centre of operations, it is now a vital piece of heritage under careful restoration.
- Historic Role: From coordinating daily flights to managing emergencies, the Control Tower was the heart of the airfield.
- Architectural Significance: Its design reflects both functional military needs and the technological advancements of its era.
- Restoration Efforts: UHH has been working tirelessly to stabilize, repair, and preserve the tower so it can be opened for future generations.
- Community Support: Volunteers, donors, and local craftsmen have all contributed to bringing the project to life.
The restoration is not just about preserving bricks and mortar—it’s about keeping the spirit of Upper Heyford alive.
