I am quite sure that the old hanger at Toronto Island was used by Austin Airways between the wars.
Definitely not built by the RNAF
We used it while filming the movie “Amelia” . A great classic aircraft hanger
I now know that the Hangar was built between 1937 and 39. I’ve got a photo dated 1938 showing the construction of Hangar 1.
Is it listed?
If so, check the local historic or preservation society.
They shouoldmhave deatils on contrruction dates and details.If it’s not protested but stilll in use, ask the airport managers.
Still done – without success!

Any hint available where I can find more answers?
Can’t believe that it should be such a rare subject!
Thanks in advance.

Hope it is of any help and didn’t confuse more…

You can find a similar quotation here
“…Finally when the Squadron moved back from Toungoo all Lysanders, except for three, had been handed over to the Burmese Air Force. Air Commodore Homi Ratnagar, who is now settled in Secunderabad, has confirmed this.”
http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/History/1940s/Hoshang01.html
and here
“On 12th March, all the remaining Lysanders, presumed to be around six were handed over to the Burmese Communication Flight.”
but mentioned only three: L4797, P9120, P9179

I just wish I could find the pictures of an Aspen Airways DC-3 on climbout from Aspen, CO using a JATO. That must have been a sight to see.
They mention no specific airline

I think it got scrapped, eventually.
