Scope and Content View from north-east showing 1913 hangars at Montrose Airfield, Angus The three 1913 hangars at Montrose Airfield were originally designed for Dysart Airfield and replaced temporary canvas and timber structures. The timber roof-frame is conventional for its time, except that it uses iron rods to support the structure. This view shows the sliding doors which provided access for the planes. There were four sliding doors under each of the triangulated roofs. Each timber-framed hangar is clad with corrugated iron sheeting. Montrose Airfield replaced Dysart Airfield as the base of Nos 1and 2 Flights of the Royal Flying Corps in 1913. It saw action in World War I as the station of an anti-Zeppelin flight, and in World War II when enemy action destroyed one of the hangars. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
