Scope and Content 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 massive wooden doors slide back into the projecting frames on either side. The roof is covered in bituminous felt and supported by trusses with polygonal profiles. 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.
