The control/watch tower is situated about 98m N of the most easterly concrete base for an aircraft hangar. Of two storeys with a viewing platform and built of concrete and brick.

The tower was scheduled for demolition in the 1980s, but was still extant when visited in 2004.

The control tower is visible on a vertical air photograph (106G/Scot/UK 42, 4212, flown 4 May 1946), which shows that the recognition letters at that date were 'GO'. The letteres were later noted as 'JO' (Smith 1984).
