Archaeology Notes

NO22SE 18.07 centred 2737 2489

Two aircraft hangars are visible on RAF WW II vertical air photographs (NLA 68, 3089-3091, flown 27 August 1943), possibly T1 type, one of which had a camouflaged roof. The hangars were located within oval concrete taxiways, still visible today and on vertical air photographs taken in 1988 (All Scotland Survey, 50788 226-227, flown 10 June 1988), though both aircraft hangars have been removed and their position taken by modern agricultural buildings.
