Post-war aviation at White Waltham, 1960: blister hangars and Tiger Moths
West London Flying Club's two-seaters stand in front of what look a lot like WW2 'blister' hangars. Both planes are De Havilland Tiger Moths - used in large numbers at the time for club flying.
Blister hangars had corrugated steel roofs in the form of a segment of a cylinder. They were designed to be easily re-sited, and I doubt whether anyone expected them to last more than a few years. The most basic form was doorless, open to the weather at both ends: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2283584
The brick-facing on the structures at White Waltham may well have been added post-war, in the hope of extending their useful life.
De Havilland Tiger Moths figure in a number of the box Brownie photos I took in 1960:
