I take it that's like the 'hangers' in Switzerland / maybe Germany, where aircraft were winched up near the roof for storage ?!

I read the other day that the term ' Hangar' ( I think they changed the spelling just to be a step ahead of the Americans, unfortunately our lot can't spell either ) comes from original airship days, when the things had to be suspended / prodded / held in every diection going.

I expect everyone at it was smoking too...
