Corrugated iron blister hangars at the Marcliff Industrial Estate in Hazel Grove. These were probably erected here for wartime manufacturing purposes.

Spotted this beauty at Barton Aerodrome. It doesn't look as if it is going to be there much longer.

Woodford Aerodrome opened in 1924 when successful aviation pioneer Alliott Verdon-Roe bought the original farmland to enable his Avro company to move its aeroplane assembly and test flying facilities from Alexandra Park Aerodrome in south Manchester. Originally it had a small grass landing area with several temporary Bessonneau hangars. The Lancashire Aero Club also used the aerodrome briefly in the 1920s until moving to the new Barton Aerodrome and used a converted farm building as a clubhouse and this 'Dutch barn' style steel-framed hangar built for A V Roe around 1927. This hangar is now under threat of demolition for the housing development which will soon take place on the closed airfield and aircraft factory site.

Seen from a passing train, this corrugated iron Hangar is one of two erected here probably for wartime manufacturing purposes.

Control Tower at Rattlesden Airfield, Suffolk with T2 hangar in background. This airfield opened in 1942 and from 1943 to 1945 was home to the B-17 Flying Fortresses of the US 708th, 709th, 710th and 711th Bombardment Squadrons of the 447th Bomb Group (Heavy). It was a Bloodhound Missile station for the RAF in the 1960s. Today the tower forms the clubhouse for the local gliding club.
