What's the purpose of the red and white checked hut you sometimes see close to a runway ?
I've sometimes seen a small but distinctive red and white checked hut close to an airfield runway, especially on military air bases in the UK. What's its purpose ? I'm assuming it's not the groundskeepers broom shed.

Originally, it would have housed the field controller. Sort of like the guy on aircraft carriers you see waving the planes down. Today, they may hold a set of radios if the tower goes down. I suspect they are nothing but broom closest now, maybe with safety equipment. These buildings could also now hold the glide slope equipment.
