Are those all grass runways or are some just parking areas?

Shawbury, Ternhill, Hullavington and Little Rissington also had this type of tower. It is a Chief Flying Instructors Block to A/M Drg No: 5740/36.

It's also possible to see the large 'SC' in the signal square in front of the Control Tower. The photo was taken during the 1965 World Gliding Championships at South Cerney when it was a 25 Group station within Flying Training Command.
Being stationed at the Group HQ's at RAF White Waltham at the time I recall that the Championship was considered to be one of the most enjoyable and successful events ever held at an RAF airfield.
