The crew on that day were, from left to right: Steve Gibson (with sunglasses), Tower Manager; Col McCurley (at back); unknown visitor (with hands in pockets); Rollo (Rock) Crawford with binoculars, Senior Tower Controller; Steve Davidson, ADC; Jeff Lockey, COORD; Terry Horn, SMC; Tim Sercombe, training on SMC; Phil Coxsedge. The person sitting behind the Controllers and the Flight Data Officer, at the rear of the console, are unidentified. A new Operations Building was constructed adjacent to the Tower to house the Sydney Area Approach Control Centre (AACC), incorporating the Bright Display radar system. The Tower and Operations Building were built on reclaimed land between 1968 and 1972, and cost 3 million dollars. The Tower itself was six storeys, or 64 ft (19.5 m), high and the two buildings were linked by a walkway at the first floor. Roll your cursor over the photo to identify various items in the photo. This photo was taken in the days before the construction of the parallel runway 16R/34L. The additional runway required the construction of a new Tower situated between the parallel runways.
