What does your club use for an ops center?

An ex-Scout bus with seating rearranged so it faces in along both sides
with a table in the centre for briefings, etc. We add boxes to hold
ballast and removable seat-backs for club gliders and hooks for winch
strops, etc. We get replacement busses cheap when they're no longer road-
worthy but still good for use on the airfield and replace them when they
are no longer economic to keep running. Our airfield is private land and
is separated from public roads by a longish private road.

We also have wooden picnic tables&benches at the 2-3 points round the
field where we regularly set up the launch point. Our field is an ex-WW2
bomber base with three grass runways, 04/22, 09/27 and 16/34. The
prevailing wind is along 22.
