I found it to be very interesting to watch… Whilst sad to see any aircraft being scrapped, I was fascinated by the methods used and the sheer volume of recycled parts removed. It’s not all metal munching – and the fact that it takes a team of aircraft engineers to do this (not just a scrapman with JCB) made it compulsive viewing..
Despite the more modern brickwork – it still looks very similar in size and shape to a Bessonneau type…. I’ve been looking at some old photos online, and wonder if the framework originally used to support the canvas could have been re-used with new more substantial cladding?
I have a vague recollection (quite usual nowadays!) of seeing a photograph – probably in the 1970s – of underground hangars – built into the hillside – in a Scandinavian country, which were adjacent to a straight stretch of motorway, which were used/useable for dispersal purposes. Is my memory playing tricks on me or do other have a similar recollection?
Could you be thinking of the Swiss Mountain hangers?
