Robin Type B Hangar

Jonathan hello, can I ask why you want this info first please?

Okay Jonathan. They are Ministry of Aircraft Production funded hangars known as Robins (not Robin) and were mostly erected at the aircraft factories as well as aircraft storage units (ASUs), where in the main, they were dispersed away from the airfield into the countryside. A few years ago there were ten for examples at Wroughton ASU. There were also several at Cosford and Shawbury etc. They were also found at the satellite landing grounds located at the Great Parks such as Woburn. There were two main types the standard 'A'-frame Type B Robins and the Super Robins (Type A) with straight sides. Cambridge Airport has several Super Robins versions on the north side. They were often camouflaged as farm building with windows painted on the sides and fake chimneys. Dawnays was one of several steel firms who manufactured them, the company Redpath Brown being another.

The above does not answer all your questions but is a good starting point.
