Cardington Airship Hangars
Viewed from the east. See Image for excellent description and links. The nearer shed is No.2 shed. From 1970 onwards it was leased by the Fire Research Station (based in Borehamwood, Herts) as a large scale test facility, where fires could be lit in relatively still-air conditions. It eventually became part of the Building Research Establishment, which became BRE Ltd. in 1997, when privatised out of the civil service. No.2 hangar is in much better condition than No. 1, as it was completely reclad in the late 1980s. Description augmented by another member.

Airship Hangar No. 2 - Interior in 1970
A view from the central staircase on the north side of the hangar looking towards the east end from about 70 feet above floor level. This view was taken shortly after the Fire Research Station (then based at Borehamwood, Herts) leased part of the hangar from the Ministry of Defence for tests on high-rack storage. The racking in the middle distance of the photograph is about 40 feet high, to give some idea of the scale of this building. For a more recent view see Image

Airship hangars
The old airship hangars at Cardington. Known as the Royal Airship Works, it built airships for the Admiralty between 1919 and 1930, until the crash of airship R101 stopped all airship work. It later built barrage balloons for the WW2 effort.
