Callendar-Hamilton Aeroplane Shed
BICC also designed an interesting type of transportable aeroplane hangar in the late 1930s for military use. Although not ordered in quantity by the Air Ministry, a number of these Callendar-Hamilton hangars were built in Britain in the late 1930s and early years of World War II. These are easily recognisable from the more numerous contemporary Bellman and T-type hangars by their intricate internal framework and external overhead door rails. Preserved examples - now listed - of these hangars can be seen today at the Museum of Flight at East Fortune near Edinburgh.

Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,
And smooth as monumental alabaster.”
