Relocated Hangars

Robins hangar (At Exeter USASB).

Type Robins Type 'B' Aircraft Hangar 2204/41 & 6874/43

The Robins hangar (now called Robin) is a small steel-framed aircraft dispersal
shed normally found on Aircraft Storage Units and Satellite Landing Grounds.
The standard arrangement required 'A'- shaped wall frames to be spaced at 12ft 6ins centres to form five bays. Roof and wall sheeting were normally 24-gauge blackpainted corrugated sheeting. At one end only, doors (clear height 14ft) in four leaves open full width (clear span 44ft) along floor and upper guides which project out from the building. The upper guide is supported by a braced outrigger.

The price for a single standard length hangar in 1943 was as follows:

• Steel frame £545
• Delivery and erection £180
• Foundations (stanchions only) £50
• Total £775

1941 to drawing 2204/41 (the 41 after the forward slash is the year).

HelmutSparrow, your building sounds too small to me to be a WW1 hangar, more like a WW2 hut with canted sides called a Ministry of Supply Living hut. The span is 17ft 3in with a length of 60ft.
