Here is an extract from a pic taken at Cranwell in 1937 which shows the building in which the High Flight pic was taken:

The pic is a Supermarine Southampton which was being used for training in aircraft skin repairs. The building does not match the window pattern of an Admiralty hangar and it appears to be at least two bays. From the High Flight the 5 x 3 pane sashes seem to be able to be opened. Indeed, in the pic above the third sash from the left seems to be partially open. Could this be the exact position where the Spit was located?

The only thing I'm not yet sure of is the exact building depicted in the pics. I don't have any immediate access to aerial imagery of Cranwell for the wartime or later to plot where it might be. Anyone got a link to an on-line aerial view?
