Island Aeroplanes

Posted on August 2, 2013 | Comments Off on Island Aeroplanes

Sandown, Isle of Wight

This hangar built at Sandown on the Isle of Wight, has been used as a museum with all of the original aircraft flown over from Germany within 3 months of REIDsteel starting on site.

Some of the aircraft on show included a replica Bleriot (which took us back to our 1920s hangars in France), a Fokker DR1, a De Havilland Tiger Moth and Dragon Rapide, a short haul biplane passenger aircraft.

Due to the restrictions on site, the Client’s Agent, Mr Terry Warren, arrived at the innovative solution of providing single sided outriggers so that a complete opening could be achieved. In addition, it was also decided to provide large areas of translucent wall panels to provide an even diffusion of light throughout the museum.
