Description
Building 27 at Hooton Park Aerodrome is a workshop constructed in 1917 for the Royal Flying Corps. The building is made of rendered brick and features a corrugated iron roof. It has a rectangular shape with a projecting aisle on the southern half of the western elevation. The structure includes steel windows and timber doors, with ten windows and an off-centre door on the eastern elevation facing the hangars. There are metal ridge ventilators and ridge glazing on the roof. Inside, the workshop has composite trusses supported by wrought-iron tension rods, and there is an office with part-glazed partitions in the northeast corner.
This workshop is part of one of the most complete groups of hangars from the First World War, which is significant in both British and European contexts. It is noted for its importance, especially as there are similar buildings at Duxford and Old Sarum. It is the most impressive workshop on the site, located behind the central hangar.
