ExAscoter, I stated that this was the "standard design" BEFORE and AFTER the expansion scheme, I stand by this as was actually copied in Canada with a few modifications at two locations ,both alas gone, {such as improved plumbing, heating and snow load stress,} in fact it states quite clearly that the design was found to be satisfactory without much modification AFTER the expansion scheme started , Of course there was no way Canada was going to replicate such fine buildings when the BCATP started. How do I know this trivia? As part of my research into a local BCATP airfield I came across memos between the RCAF and the RAF on this very subject.As for it "having nothing in common" with pre -expansion buildings, all the specs for red bricks , steel roof trusses and other components were, I recall, written to the same specifications, some of which, such as bricks, could not be duplicated in Canada.But such obscure stuff wont get the cadets flying, or undo the damage to the building.
