What is recorded here
Kemble Airfield control tower is a castle, fort or tower in Wiltshire, England. Perhaps it watched planes leave and return while people believed certainty belonged to speed. Maybe the tower still holds that belief, waiting for wings loud enough to answer. Imagine a room where certainty is measured in altitude and distance.
