Information transferred from cancelled site NT57NE 201
Large aircraft hangar built by the Air Ministry post 1943. It is a Thompson type aircraft hangar known as Hangar IV. It is much larger than the three Callendar-Hamilton type and is in use for storage by the Museum of Flight, and is in poor condition. A Nissen Hut, is situated adjecent to this building.
The hangar is not visible on the 1943 series of RAF vertical air photographs (NLA 68, 3041-3049,4041-4049, flown 26 August 1943), but can be seen on the immediate postwar series (106G/SCOT/UK14, 5185-5190; 5361-5366, flown 15 April 1946), indicating that it was built later in the war.
