I think the area in view on far left of the photo is actually what is now stand 1R. The building of hangar 89 was already underway by the summer of 1969 when the Bulair series began. I suspect the early stages of the hangar construction are just out of view. I remember my initial enthusiasm at having a new hangar at the airport waned somewhat when it became apparent it was going to block the view of a large part of the apron that was still visible from the spectators car park.
