Well looking through Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise I don't see any information concerning the Landing-Bay Control Room with the exception of an arrow on the Profile drawing.
By the way, in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier there are tall windows in the shuttle bay on the side opposite the Landing-Bay doors. Is this alsow a Landing-Bay Control Room or is this an observation station that overlooks the shuttle bay?

Your reference to ST:V is that this appears to be the main hangar bay control room. If you'll recall, Scotty is seen observing the fight between Sybok, Kirk and Spock - albiet we don't see him 'til after the fight is over and Sybok's cronies have also recovered.

So does that mean that the starship has to man two control rooms during shuttle operations? The exterior control room, the one outside the hanger, and the interior hanger bay control room?
This arrangement seems very redundant to me unless the interior hanger bay control room was used to move the shuttles inside the hanger using overhead cranes or tractor beams after landing while the exterior control room was used to "guide" the shuttle toward the Enterprise, then into a landing approach course using tractor beams or navigational beacons, and then the controller would open the large shuttle bay doors at the appropriate time to let the craft into the bay.

Well, nothing is ever specifically stated on-screen, tho that is the theory for the ST:V version that I posit above....

Do these pictures show the same control room, that's on new model? I had never considered it before.

Do your best at debunking all day long, if you wish. You've seen pics here of the Refit's Control Room, as indicated with the Andrew Probert cutaway drawing above which lends credence to what it's meant ot be. Ther are also the cutaway drawings by Matt Jeffries that exist of the TOS 'E' which show the hangar bay area with an obvious control room depicted.
And it's "hangar", not "hanger". You park aircraft in the former and place your clothes on the latter.

In the 24th century, advances in materials technology and space management lead to storing shuttles, hung from the ceiling of the shuttlebay... on hangers.
Heh, the advantage of a morning person making late night posts.

Something just occured to me. For ST: V, besides the new shuttle Bay set, they also had to have made a new model for the exterior close-ups. it just looks a little different. anybody heard if there was one built? like the 'wax' close-up model of the dorsal, for ST: II?

that occurred to me as well.. there's precious little behind the scenes type stuff from STV, i assume since it was farmed out to a smaller effects house than Trek productions usually received (ILM was busy at the time, purportedy with Indiana Jones)

Perhaps the upcoming ST:V SE DVD will give us the answer to that. Looks to be lots of extra's in that one, so you never know....

Oh dear, that might be worth a chuckle.
No doubt. I'd like to get a better idea of what exactly Shatner had in mind, at least.

IIRC from when I read the novelization all those years ago, there won't be a whole lot of deleted stuff. Just some minor background stuff. The only thing that sticks in my mind for sure is a conversation between the three ambassador's in the bar that didn't make it into the movie. Prolly wouldn't be more than five to ten minutes that was deleted?

that conversation was gold.. it basically consisted of
"I'm here on the behalf of the Romulan government to open a dialogue"
and Korrd replying "The only thing I'd like to open is your skirt. I've heard Romulan women are... different"
Two lines that embody GR's true spirit of Trek..
