Scope and Content Drawings of 1917 Aircraft Hangar at Montrose Airfield, Tayside The three 1917 hangars at Montrose Airfield were standard prefabricated structures of a type known to flyers as 'black hangars'. The middle hangar was destroyed in 1940 by enemy action. The planes are typical fighter-aircraft. Other planes known to have used the base include the Maurice Farman 1 and 2, the BE2, and the F2B. 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.
