Belfast truss building off the A64 near Tadcaster.

Went away for my 25 anniversary to a hotel just off the A64/ A1 junction & noticed a large building that appeared to be of a Belfast truss construction.

Was there a WWI airfield in the area?

A few years ago I put details and photos of the hangar on this Forum after I got the OK to take some internal views of the structure.

See my photos in post #4 in this old thread:

Had a look in the Tadcaster hangar a few years ago; very original at that time, with period stenciling and graffiti.

yes, Tadcaster/Bramham Moor – this is a great site for identifying airfields
