Relocated Hangars

Midnightbounty, This is the Wern Industrial Estate. No obvious hangar, but if you find it, then give the put the cursor on it and read off the grid coordinates at the bottom right, we'll have a closer look.

hmmmmmmmmm

The frame of a blister hangar reputedly from RAF Gt Sampford survives over the old railway line near Thaxted - coordinates 51.945274,0.332239. You can JUST make it out at 7 o'clock from the green arrow, if you look very very hard!

It must have moved there after 1953 when the railway line (which it straddles) was closed, but was skeletal by the time I remember it first, which would have been late 1970s. In fact, I cannot remember it ever having any trace of cladding, so it may well have never got further than the frame being re-erected.

That Rogerstone shed looks very much like a Navy Pentad.

Could it have come from the former Navy storage site at Llangenach or however its spelt!

Yes MNB that's the site found by Kebecker above. It does look like a Pentad, though I'm not convinced about the door panels.

Five Blister hangars from RAF Harrowbeer were purchased by Plymouth City Council after WWII. Four were re-erected in a local council depot whilst the other was installed on Plymouth Hoe to become the very popular Hoe Floral Cafe. The full story is at www.plymouthdata.info
