Scope and Content Structural diagram 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 roof structure consists of trusses with polygonal profiles braced by diagonal raking struts (6), vertical tension rods (5) and two rows of longitudinal wind-braces (8,9). The doors slide back into the door-housing (14) on either side of the entrance. 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.
