Default Wasn't that photo taken at Cardington?

Hello,

I think the last photo was taken inside one of the two airship hangers at Cardington in Bedfordshire.

These were the hangers used for the R101, and I believe that one of them had originally been built in Norfolk during the First World War, and then moved in the 1920's to Cardington.

About 15 years or so ago, I tendered for building a platform for a fire research centre inside one of these hangers.

There were still two balloon winch trucks inside the hanger. I think they were Austins.

The second hangar is used to store vintage cars.

Regards

Nick Balmer
