Nissen Hut

We are rebuilding a Nissen hut on the old site. New foundations have been laid and a re-enforced concrete base has been added to the foundations. The Nissen hut steel loops or ribs were obtained from Flixton Airfield hospital site which had been used as a piggery for a number of years and was demolished last year.

To date all the ribs of the hut have been cleaned, checked for correct radius and painted. These have been erected and 10 wooden purlings have been fitted. It is our intention to build the hut to a high standard of insulation to enable us to permanently display memorabilia and uniforms all year round.

It is hoped to have the Nissen hut finished for the 2006 Open Day, and it was!
