This aircraft hangar, built in 1940 to accommodate bombers (Wellingtons, Halifaxes and, by 1943, Lancasters) then later used for training aircraft like Harvards (which your geographer used to fly from here) and Jet Provosts, is now surplus to the requirements of what is now a gliding airfield and will shortly be demolished.
