Beware! there was not really any control tower at Desvres airfield: the area you mention contains the park, farm and "chateau du Desert" which had been commandeered by the Luftwaffe for the pilots and troops of course. The hangar you see is a modern 1990 ULM hangar not much used nowadays.
No hangar exists in Desvres anymore, only their bases as in the photo, aligned along the south peripheral taxiway and the around the small wood on the West.
There were also some hangar bases (probably only blast walls actually) around the chateau area to the east, but they have been destroyed last year.
