North aspect. The long flanks have raking buttresses carried up to the eaves soffit, with half-brick curtain walls between. Building 79 had, at first, 6 bays to the N, at that time open to the interior, but in 1935 these were extended by 4 bays and enclosed, as electrical and radio rooms, with equipment stores and offices. At the centre of the photo and on the right are marble memorial slabs. There commemorate Duxford's RAF associations with the Battle of Britain and the American fighter support for the Eighth Air Force. (Photo Oct 2012).
