A bit more modeling and another doodle, with history...... In about 1908, the Bessonneau hangar was designed and manufactured by the French rope and canvas manufacturer Etablissements Bessonneau, headed by Julien Bessonneau (1842-1916) and based at Angers. The hangar, then referred to as a Bessonneau tent, was first used in the area of Maine-et-Loire, and in 1910 specifically employed to protect aircraft participating in a race from Angers to Saumur.In World War I, the design was adopted by the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) to house aircraft in both Great Britain and France. From about 1917, Bessonneau hangars were increasingly used for temporary protection for RFC aircraft pending construction and development of permanent hangars. They were also extensively used at RFC Aircraft Acceptance Parks, where aircraft were assembled and tested before delivery, and for squadrons that moved from Britain to advancing battlefronts in France. After World War I, Bessonneau hangars were often used for cheap and portable storage for civilian aircraft. Into World War II, the Royal Air Force continued to employ the hangars, later designated as 'Aircraft Hangar (Type H)' and defined by Air Publication AP.4488A.After World War II, British military use of Bessonneau hangars continued for the purpose of storing powered aircraft and gliders operated by the Air Training Corps ('Air Cadets'), until about 1990. A few hangars then briefly survived with gliding clubs for military personnel, but they typically succumbed to bad weather and inadequate maintenance and support. I must start by thanking Dale, aka 'Kenmac02', over at ShareCG. Dale sent me an impressive collection of pictures and technical drawings for various WWI airfield buildings, many of which I knew nothing about.The earlier German Field Hanger, fearured a couple of posts back was one, the Bessonneau I had heard of but knew nothing of it's history.....thanks again to Dale for the above. Following another spell in Hospital, the Father-in-Law is back home again and our stay is extended yet again, at least through the first week in October.In typical style, he felt well enough to go out with Karen yesterday and do a bit of shopping.....£58.00 in ASDA, & £6,500 in Windsors Motors.....yes, he bought her a car...then came home and questioned me on how much electricity my laptop uses....sigh!!!!
