Helicopter hangar Isle of Wight

for aircraftopenfor airport

This hangar built at Sandown on the Isle of Wight, has been used as a museum with all of the original aircraft flown over from Germany within 3 months of REIDsteel starting on site. Some of the aircraft on show included a replica Bleriot (which took us back to our 1920s hangars in France), a Fokker DR1, a De Havilland Tiger Moth and Dragon Rapide, a short haul biplane passenger aircraft. Due to the restrictions on site, the Client’s Agent arrived at the innovative solution of providing single sided outriggers so that a complete opening could be achieved. In addition, it was also decided to provide large areas of translucent wall panels to provide an even diffusion of light throughout the museum. Hangar Details Span: 22.8m Length: 36.5m Hangar Doors: 3 door slabs on 3 tracks with a single sided outrigger
