Hi,

Just finished the first part of my recon flight

Very curious is the fact that one hangar looks indeed from the front, and if only partially seen in a sideview as a Zeppelin hangar. This made me optimistically think that there might have been any ideas for the use of them at the Belgian coast, however taking a closer view on a number of aerial photo's I is very clear that the hangar is simply not large (read long) enough to be used for a Zeppelin.
I may have given 'parking'space to about ten planes or so, not counting one more or less.

This leads to another question. What was the issue of constructing such a high hangar, for such low planes ?
Of course there is the possibility of a change of plans during construction...

I have seen another, however not similar, construction that was almost equally high on the Gistel aerodrome.

Any thoughts / idea's ?

Thanks and best from Johan
