Full Description

Two Boulton and Paul hangars were noted by ARCH's Evanton Wartime Remains project in 2013. Both were extant in 2013. In the smaller one (a Boulton and Paul 200) a girder has graffiti ‘Victor Mackenzie 1941’. The corner of the Boulton and Paul 300 hangar was said to have had an orchestra pit during the war, which was filled in by 2013. Both hangars were being used by the Wool Growers at the time of this project. Contributor: Preston White. Grid Refs: NH 62161 66732, NH 62215 66663. <1>
