A farm house used by Lieutenant Colonel David C Schilling of the 56th Fighter Group at Halesworth. Handwritten caption on reverse: 'This farm house at Halesworth Air Base used the space available for Dave C. Schilling and his 62nd Fighter Squadron to have their admin, Intelligence, Operations, Engineering, Armament and Communications. A hardstand just in front of the main house ran off the runway, in three days with the help of the 33rd Service Group. Carpenters and everyone in holding a faint hush - the "chatueau" became a hall-headquarters.'
