Ah! But the reason for that, I was told when I underwent training there many moons ago was that a chap had 'lost' a hangar. Beside himself he was at a loss how to make up this loss when an old wag introduced him to a Form 21. This magical form allowed him to convert one item that he hadn't got into one that he had.
A quick flick of the pen and one Hangars, wooden, aircraft became one hangers, wooden, coat with a suitable 21B sect/ref. Unfortunately he didn't have any wooden coat hangers either.
No problem he was told. Another F21 and the hangers became hangers, wire, coat with a 21C sect/ref and were now magically C-stores which were later written off.
Clearly the man who painted the hangers at South Cerney had not been paying attention in the lecture.
