Relocated Hangars

On the subject of Robin Hangars - at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry, we have a Robin that was donated by Jaguar from their Whitley plant nearby. I think it had been built when AWA were sited there before they moved up to Baginton. I helped with the restoration of this hangar, and here's a photo of the framework during the assembly / painting stage prior to the contractor's cladding it...

The second shot shows it's current location within the Museum site (dark green hangar centre right of shot with Mig parked outside...)

Where does one of Duxford's T2 come from, the one with little doors at the top for bigger tailfins. North Weald had one like that from Stansted i just wondered if that one was the same. I think Duxford's other T2 comes from Tempsford or do they both come together as one big Hangar that it currently is?

I'm sure that the former Ford hangar went to Duxford from Stansted when it was taken down.

Anyone know where the Sculthorpe hangars have gone? Have they been relocated or have they gone to the great skip in the sky?

Here's a strange one, there appears to be a Mainhill behind a terrace of houses in Tucking Mill, Camborne, Cornwall. Hard to stop and investigate when your driving a truck, but will try and confirm sometime!

Fairly local to me, I'll try to get a photo or two next time I'm passing.

Visited the site this afternoon, photos follow, current owner confirmed previous use as a hangar, probably from Culdrose. His father moved it, so he's going to try to get confirmation for me next time I'm back in the UK.

I saw this Blister Hangar near Basildon today when approaching Basildon. I have never noticed it before, even after all the years spent passing the place one time or another.
Any of our other local Essex members know about this, or its origins?
