Control tower at RAF Station Red Road, Calcutta, India.
Bryan Young's information supplied "Date March/April 1945. Location - Angel Red Road airstrip Calcutta, India. I had been posted tour expired from 81 Squadron then in Ceylon to a rest tour testing refurbished aircraft on 134 Repair and Salvage Unit the only one based on this grass strip in the central main city park of Calcutta. It was a dangerous location with city streets close on three sides and a zoo and the Hoogly river on the other. Added to these hazards was its short length, large closely enclosing trees and an infestation of monkeys, crows, vultures, buzzards and flying foxes. Never a dull moment when taking off and landing. The photograph depicts the control tower with pilots crew room and office below sited not twenty feet from the runway and the tented living site behind. The trees in the background are some of those which lined one side of Chowringi, a main street in Calcutta."
