Are you sure?
On the Internet I found several sites mentioning underground repair shops and also that an attempt was made to start cutting out hangars in the west ridge of Ta Qali.
But these attempts proved the rock was too soft. As the attempts were also discovered by the Germans, they did a heavy bombing.
After the Bombing, hangars doors were painted on the ridge in an attempt to lure further attacks to this further unused area of the air base.
