NO22SE 18.03 26252 24130
Two 'T1' type aircraft hangars are visible on RAF WW II vertical air photographs (NLA 68, 4088-4089, flown 27 August 1943), on the W side of the airfield adjacent to East Leys farmsteading(NO22SE 43).
The hangar to the NE survives intact (NO 26252 34130) and has been noted by Guy (J Guy, Vol.1, 54, 1997). The second hangar may have been subsumed into what is now depicted 'Errol Granary' on the OS 1:10000 scale map (1976). Vertical aerial photographs taken in 1988 (All Scotland Survey, 50788, 226-227, flown 10 June 1988) show what may be the hangar at NO 26213 23991 as part of a larger group.
Several concrete dispersal bays along with at least three blister type hangars are visible in this area on the 1943 images.
