Belfast Hangar Terminal

Great Stuff Corsair (thanks)
And thats just as i thought it was, as was the brickwork inside.
I do not seem to recall there was any reference to their part in getting the Spitfire into service and even back then i thought a fuselarge on the wall with the script:- 'Southampton home of the Spitfire' would have been in keeping.
In fact it is amazing that the 'Belfasts' lasted for so long and were put to such good use after an even more amazing escape from being blitzed in 1940.
