Description
The North Pair of Aircraft Hangars is an attached pair of hangars built from brick, featuring broad segmental roofs made of corrugated material. The east and west side walls are made up of stepped brick piers, with 15 bays of rendered walling in between. Each bay has high-level metal small pane windows. Both side elevations include single-storey brick-built lean-to sheds that are centrally located, along with shorter lengths of taller lean-to sheds on the west elevation.
On the north and south entrance sides, fixed metal sheeting has replaced the original sliding doors. This sheeting includes smaller metal sliding doors for each hangar at the south end. At both ends of the entrance sides, there are brick-built housings for sliding doors, featuring two tall brick arches between buttresses.
The hangars have curved Belfast type lattice roof trusses supported by brick piers. These trusses are reinforced longitudinally with tie-beams and braces, and feature zig-zag bracing in the end bays. The central wall dividing the pair of hangars consists of brick piers linked by a brick wall with segmental relieving arches. The entrance end sheeting is held up by a wooden framework with metal bracing.
