These photographs were all taken in the 1961-1964 period.  The smaller pictures taken by Paul C Low and the larger ones (from the radar console down) were taken by a base photographer from Bentwaters.

Three civilian controllers whose names I wish I could recall - they were great blokes

Lynn Richer at the 'scope in the Controllers position.
Don't know who is next to him but he is taking information from Base ops.

Phil Knight at the Ops Table - this is where all the information on aircraft was sent - name, flight call sign, destination, type of aircraft, expected time of return, etc. - all this information was put onto a strip of paper and given to the Controller for whatever airbase the plan was flying out of or into - tough job.
