A Community Launches A Campaign To Restore A WW2 Watchtower In Tangmere

Once a hive of activity, the airfield at Tangmere played a crucial role in the Battle of britain and the D-day assaults.
The airfield was home to spitfire squadrons as well as legendary pilot Douglas Bader.
However the RAF left Tangmere in 1970, and since then the control tower has been left in ruin.
Now though after securing heritage status, the parish council along with the University of Chichester and the nearby military aviation museum, have launched a campaign to restore the tower to its former glory.
