North Pair of Aircraft Hangars

Attached pair of aircraft hangars. Brick walling, paired broad segmental roofs in corrugated material. The side walls (to E & W) consist of stepped brick piers, between which are 15 bays of rendered walling with metal small pane windows at high level in each bay; the side (E & W) elevations have single storey brick built lean-to sheds that are centrally located on each elevation. Other short lengths of taller lean-to sheds are also located on the side (W) elevation.

The entrance sides (to N and S) have fixed metal sheeting replacing original sliding doors; the sheeting has smaller metal sliding doors to each hangar at the S end. At each end of the entrance sides is a brick built housing for sliding doors consisting of 2 tall brick arches between buttresses.

The curved Belfast type lattice roof trusses are borne on brick piers; the trusses are braced longitudinally with tie-beams and braces, with zig-zag bracing in end bays. The central wall of the hangar, dividing the pair, consists of brick piers, connected by a brick wall with segmental relieving arches. The entrance end sheeting is supported by wooden framework with metal bracing.
