Ski Shaped Buildings

@ Trim Stab,

Anybody know why they were ski shaped?
I suspect the primary reason for the curved shape was for reduction of blast damage in case of Allied bombing or a V1 failure on ramp. A possible secondary, though minor, reason would be the reduction in wind tunnel effect through the store. This would make working conditions slightly better.
