save the flight shed petition
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/19684
started a petition to save longbridges flight shed turning into god knows what but just trying to stop it being demolished i would be grateful if as many people can sign this and pass the link around to get as many signatures as possible Flight Shed Flight Shed 1950s A notable structure as part of the East Works development was the building of the Flight Shed. A planning application lodged on 17th September 1936 for a hangar in Lowhill Lane on the corner with Groveley Lane. The work commenced in late 1936 and was completed in October 1937. The building was to be used as a shop where aeroengine components were to be machined and assembled. Aircraft that had been assembled in the East Works were towered over the road into the Flight Shed were they were fitted out and then lifted up on a platform by cables to the airfield. The building roof was constructed from pressed steel sections assembled to form a honeycombed lattice which gives a single span. This building is probable the only surviving example of this form of construction left in the country.

 Fantastic idea, its a lovely historic building and was designed by Barnes Wallace, of Wellington Bomber and Bouncing Bomb fame, to name just two. |
