I guess ir never occured to you to wonder why the windows are angled outwards

Oh dear! I realise I should know better, but you keep amazing me with your

Think again.

You really are such a bell-end sometimes in your desperate quest to disagree
with everything I say.

They don't sit with their faces pressed to the windows? No ****! But the
angled windows give them potentially a greater field of view if they need to
check out stuff down below. Or did you think it was an architectural flourish?
Aww, bless.

No, watching him get more and more annoyed while he displays his
ignorance is such fun. I predict a stream of bad language any time now.

Why? You see a friends brother happens to be an ATC at city airport which is
why I already knew about that plan to lay them off, sorry , "transfer". And
guess what? They use the angled windows to look out and keeps tabs on what is
going on right beneath them when appropriate. So all you so called aviation
experts can shoev your google answers where the angled windows don't reach.

I visited a friend who works in Stansted Tower. Their desks are several
metres from the windows - there are steps down from the control floor to a
walkway next to the windows, which also allows maintenance access to the
back of the desk equipment cabinets. To look downward out of the windows
the controllers would have to 'unplug' and walk from their desk several
metres to get to the window. It wasn't mentioned as something they ever
did, though I didn't specifically ask.

Its an as and when apparently, presumably when they're worried about ground
vehicle movements conflicting with planes or something like that.

Another of your famous "friends"?

My sister is an ATC and she reckons the windows are angled to stop
reflections.

Huh? He's not a friend, he's a brother of a friend.

"Reckons"? Anyway, there doesn't have to be just one purpose. Perhaps the
reflections was the initial reason and a side effect was it led to better
visuals. Or vice verca.

The architects design them that way not because they feel that the
operators want to see if Spiderman is climbing up the tower but for
more practical reasons.
The outward angle reduces reflections from instrumentation from
equipment inside the tower at night and also in the day you dont get
refections of what is visible from an all around set of windows
refecting back and forth like a hall of mirrors effect, an added bonus
is that rain will sometimes drip off quicker than it would on a
vertical window, many ships bridges have windows that slant out at the
top for the same reasons.

And back on land many an observation post like this former coastguard
one also has them.
