Bellman Hangar - Surviving Examples in The UK

Surviving Examples in The UK

There are believed to be about 100 Bellman hangars still in RAF/MoD service in the UK - including Chivenor, Cosford and St Athan airfields.

Two examples are currently preserved in UK aircraft museums - one at AeroVenture near Doncaster, South Yorkshire and another at Brooklands Museum in Surrey. The latter was designated a Grade 2 Listed building in 1999, was one of ten erected at Brooklands between 1938 and 1944 and is the UK's only Listed example.

Others survive at UK civil airfields such as Booker(4), Fairwood Common (Swansea Airport) (1), Halfpenny Green, Stoke Orchard (1) and White Waltham (2). Further survivors can be found away from airfields in a variety of alternative uses.

Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or examples:

    The misery of the middle-aged woman is a grey and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
