A Romney hut
One of the few original buildings which have survived on the former Technical site of RAF Eye, which was an active airfield in WW2. Romney huts are prefabricated steel structures. They were developed during WW2 and constructed of a clamped clamped tubular steel frame with a central entrance. The hut was used to accommodate facilities for which abnormal roof spans were required and on some airfields two or more would be erected to house large stores and workshops.
