KK1 is this the old Beehive control tower ?
Tom Singfield has sent me the link below that has pages of photos of Gatwick during several eras. Page 1 include the plans for the beehive including the tower and they seem to support the idea the above photo is in the Beehive. Page 5 has some lovely modern photos of the Beehive interior and exterior.
here are some more of the beehive tower and terminal and 1930s Gatwick from Barry Davidson

45, 46 and 47 look more Scottish to me. The Approach unit in 45 has a Scottish half-million in the background. Prestwick?

I do believe that is SATCO Critchley-Graham with the moustache and waistcoat! He was a well-respected ballroom dancer. Semi-retired in ’68, he ran the training section between dances.
