*The Historic Green Avro Hangar. A rare and historic piece of early aviation heritage. Technical Information: The hangar is quite a small structure, the overall footprint is Width 67 ft (20.1 m) Depth 44 ft (13.2 m) Door/entrance ht. 11ft 6ins (3.45 m). (This can be increased by approximately 1 ft (30 cm) without difficulty). Overall height 18ft (5.4 m). Total usable floor area 360 square metres (2,900 square feet) approximately. The hangar is of steel girder construction, triangulation braced with steel angle and T-section lengths, all bolted together with the inclusion of fish plates, (no welds). The total structure is covered with corrugated iron sheet. There is a set of windows on the rear wall and the centre triangular roof section is also glazed. The hangar is both unique and visually appealing having two vaulted roofs joined by a triangular roof section. It is rectangular in shape, with an integral workshop area at the rear of width 67 ft by 10 ft plus. This "workshop" area is totally integral to the hangar and from the inside is one large open plan space without dividers or walls. It has a sloping corrugated iron roof and along the back wall are windows. The front of the hangar is composed entirely of four sliding doors. These are of bolted light girder construction atop a substantial RSJ girder which in turn supports the cast iron wheels in their own protective boxes. Each door is clad in corrugated iron sheet. On the RH wall of the hangar, (looking at it from the front), is a pedestrian steel door in steel frame. On the LH side of the hangar is an integral wind sock mast. Internally the structure is made up of a set of substantial vertical rolled steel joists (RSJs), 8ins x 6ins (20 x 15 cm), augmented by a set of medium vertical RSJs and vertical T section steels, the latter primarily to aid the covering sheet fixings. Around the tops are again substantial horizontal RSJs. Everything connects together by bolting with the use of steel fish plates. On top of the horizontal RSJs are bolted lengths of timber (pitch pine). These timbers act as a bed to attach the steel barrel roof and triangular sections. There is a decent size steel movable engine lifting block and tackle on one of the roof RSJs. We estimate a safe working load of 3 tons. Prior to dismantling the hangar we carefully measured all distances, heights, levels and other dimensions using laser. All measurements were double-checked, logged and then used to draw up a set of plans for re-build. These plans complement a previous set drawn up during 2014 by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council in conjunction with the airfield planning application. It is a simple, straightforward robust structure having been on the one site since 1924, though we believe the hangar to be 101 years old. Now it has been carefully dismantled and removed from site, suitable restoration can be achieved and forward shipped in a shipping container to a final destination. Naturally there is some surface rust after such a period of time, mostly confined to the steel structural pieces that abutted directly to the iron cladding. The team I employed to take the hangar down have done much work during the hangar restoration at Brooklands and Bicester heritage. They have all the correct equipment to shot blast the surface rust off, prime and finish painting the steel work and supply suitable replacement nuts, bolts and washers. The dismantled hangar is currently stored in a 40-foot container in Oxfordshire. The history of this piece of aviation heritage is unique. A.V. Roe, the earliest of Britain's aeronautical designer, constructor, pilot and aircraft factory pioneers, built some of his machines during 1908 and onwards on the ground floor of his brother's mill in Manchester. Prior to World War One he had successfully developed the Avro 504, which went on to have a production run of over 10,000 machines throughout WWI and up until the early 1930s. During WWI, the British government set up "Aircraft Acceptance Parks" (AAPs) throughout the country. One such AAP was established at Alexandra Park during 1917. This was used primarily by Avro to ship in sub-structures, build up Avro 504s, flight test and formally hand over the finished product to the RFC or RNAS. With the ending of the war Avro remained at Alexander Park constructing and repairing aircraft and starting embryo commercial flying activities until 1924 when he was "given notice to quit". (1)
*Sidney Herbert Hollands metal propeller, 1909. The unique 1909 Sidney Herbert Hollands Monoplane propeller by Gardiner & Boultbee, of two-blade propeller of steel construction with conchoidal blades and concave on the driving side with traces of stencil markings 'Gardiner & Boultbee Monoplane 1909, 22ft Span x Ft 6in Length 22.5ft', with central boss united by metal struts, 183cm (72ins) long, general flaking and loss of paint commensurate with age Provenance: By family descent. The vendor's grandfather (James Gardiner) of Woolton, Liverpool and his partner Harold Dalton Boultbee purchased the propeller for use on their monoplane aeroplane which they built in 1909. They designed a single seater, midwing monoplane, with a fuselage constructed of steel tubing in 1909. The wing was constructed of wood and warping was used for lateral control. The control system was covered by patent No.14990/1909. The undercarriage was fitted with long coil springs and was raked well forward as a precaution, owing to uncertainty about the fore or aft balance. It was to be retractable in flight and was covered by patent No.17291/1909. A strut with tail wheel was also fitted. The engine used was a 12 h.p. rotary built by Scott of Gloucester, with its two cylinders set at 180 degrees to each other and believed to be the first Scott engine constructed. When the time came arrived for testing, terrific vibration shook the machine and the engine gradually stopped as the exhaust cams became circular owing to their not having been hardened. Boultbee and Gardiner's operational HQ, a portable hangar, was on some ground across the River Dee, and a firm of engineers proposed that together they should set up a company there to manufacture aeroplanes. Gardiner would not agree and the partners separated with work on the machine stopped at an advanced stage. Boultbee later held various senior design positions at Bristol and Handley Page and for a time, between the wars, had his own company, The Civilian Aircraft Co. The aeroplane is featured in British Aircraft before The Great War, by Michael H. Goodall and Albert E. Tagg (Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 2001). (1)
