Hi all,
This is a long shot!
Can anybody tell me if these timbers belonged to an aircraft hangar from the first world war period.
They are located near to the site of the original Vickers test site.
Many thanks for any assistance you can offer.
Cheers
Gerry

Hi
Many thanks for your reply.
The size would fit railway sleepers and the aerodrome (Joyce Green) had a small tramline to get casualties from the Thames up to the hospital so it is certainly probable that these timbers are left over from that.

That looks more like a railway sleeper to me where the rail foot has rested and been unbolted.
How big is the timber, Gerry?
