Montrose Aerodrome WW1 Hangar
Britain’s first operational military airfield was set up in Montrose by the Royal Flying Corps in 1913.
Montrose aerodrome was a pre ww1 rfc training and flying areodrome, and saw service through to the 1950s.
Site covers a very large area.
A lot is now sadly gone but most hangars are still there but are now industrial units.
The first pictures were taken by me in 1982 early U E.
They show an early wooden WW1 hanger being removed suposedly to be re-built else where, but this never happend.
Later photos were taken from a simaler position and show site now, witch is now a vosa hgv testing station, and aircraft museum in foreground.
what a change in 26 years.
very large wooden doors.
internal wood was like new.
rear view.
What a change in 26 years and for the photo quality well
