Scope and Content Elevation of 1913 Aircraft Hangar at Montrose Airfield, Tayside The three 1913 hangars at Montrose Airfield were originally designed for Dysart Airfield and replaced temporary canvas and timber structures. Access for the planes was provided by four sliding doors under each of the triangulated roofs. The plane, a Maurice Farman, was a stable two-seater used for training. Montrose Airfield replaced Dysart Airfield as the base of No. 1 and 2 Flights of the Royal Flying Corps in 1913. It saw action in World War One 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.
