Cardington Hangers by rosiekind

Cardington Hangers

Next to the little village of Cardington, just a few miles from Bedford, sit two enormous sheds that dominate the landscape. At their peak in the 1920s the sheds (or hangars to some) were one of the hubs of the British aviation industry and the birthplace of the R101, the largest aircraft ever made in the UK.

I can see these hangars when I walk along Wood Lane and as it was windy with no birds about I thought I would post a photo of these.

Thank you for getting yesterday's kingfisher on PP and for all your kind comments and Favs. It is always very much appreciated.
Very nice shot. What they used for today
