621 VGS at Weston-Super-Mare airfield operated from a Bessaneau into the 1990's until they moved to Hullavington. I can remember many times climbing the ladder to lace up the canvas doors which were a couple of inches less wide than the Grob Vikings 17 metre wingspan. When the VGS moved, the canvas was removed and stored inside the empty Sqn HQ building but the wooden frame remained for at least another 10 years.

A picture of the hangar taken in the 1980's can be seen in this post

It has now been completely dismantled and just the hardstanding that the hangar stood on at the end of Moor Ln appears on the Google Earth image taken June 2006.
