One of the restored hangars dating from WW1 on the former site of RAF Hooton Park, now managed by the Hooton Park Trust. The Belfast Hangar roof trusses were manufactured from short lengths of low quality timber, at a time when quality wood was in short supply. It could also be constructed by unskilled labour relatively quickly, which made it perfect for building construction in wartime. Image
