Bessonneau hangar
The Bessonneau hangar was a portable timber and canvas aircraft hangar used by the Royal Flying Corps during World War I.
==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.〔French Wikipedia http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tablissements_Bessonneau〕 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 and the Royal Air Force continued to employ these hangars into World War II, later designating them 'Aircraft Hangar (Type H)' and defined by Air Publication AP.4488A.〔English Heritage thesaurus (English Heritage )〕 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 and the last spare parts were disposed of by RAF Stafford c.1988. A few Bessonneau hangars then briefly survived with gliding clubs for military personnel at airfields such as Kenley, but they typically succumbed to bad weather - as happened to one of the last survivors at RAF Odiham c.2010 - and inadequate maintenance and support.〔Predannack hangar (626vgs.co.uk )〕 No complete Bessonneau hangars are known to survive today.
