Identification of hanger types was created by NikkiWilkes
Hi all, I am trying to identify these hangers as shown in the image. The site is RNAS / RFC Bembridge on the isle of wight. The shed in the forground I thought was a canvas a wood build, but I can find no other shed that matches it and the sheds in the background look as if they are made from corrugated sheet, but I guess they could be wood and look in form like the original aeroplane sheds. Any help on there identification would be great.

I have a set of Defence Estates PDFs on identifying WWII hangars with detailed drawings of many of them and details of them.

I think these were very early, Its hard to find out much about them all really - a set of drawings would be excellent but I fear there may not be any around.
