Originally part of the WW1 US Naval Air Force base. The Hangar was only used for a short period in 1938-39 by Cunliffe Owen. By 1939 Cunliffe Owen had constructed a new factory to the south of these hangars and the hangar was in use by Jersey Airways Ltd. The hangars immediately to the south belonged to Vickers-Armstrongs (Supermarine) Ltd. Adrodd fel Amhriodol	Dave Key	Thursday 4th of May 2017 10:49:36 PM
