I was once told a story about catching pheasants. Apparently raisins were soaked in brandy and then left out for the pheasants to eat. Said pheasants got pissed out of their (small) brains and just passed out. It was a simple job just to go round and pick them up.
If true, no reason why it wouldn’t work for pigeons.

A few years ago, ultra violet strip lights were installed under a couple of railway bridges near our depot, with the aim of deterring illegal drug abuse. An unexpected bonus was that the resident pigeons didn't like it either and cleared off to roost elsewhere. Could be worth a try as night time "security" lighting.

Yes, it turns out it's a bit complicated since Gove cocked up the licensing system. Don't hold your breath waiting for him to sort it out because, guess what, he has other things on his mind at the moment (no, I wasn't deliberately trying to turn this into a #brexit thread, it did it all by itself).
One approach might be
One approach might be
- Set up a food business in the hangar (yes, that involves a bit of bureaucracy, but bear with me).
- Call in a pest controller.
- Pest controller applies for a licence. (So far as anyone knows so far, no such licences exist, but it's having filed the application that's the important thing, keep reading.)
- Pest controller spots pigeons flying around inside a food business and declares an emergency.
- Pest controller shoots pigeons.
- Pest controller notifies after the event that he has shot the pigeons, which is OK in a emergency so long as the licence application has been submitted.

For what it may be worth as a source of comfort, and this is not a scientific ornithological analysis, just one based on personal observations, unlike humans, pigeons are not into threesomes .....
Before you start blasting away however, why not have a look for "rent a hawk " or whatever term fits, plus handler. Said raptor has the desired long term effect I believe .

A high powered light pointer may be a low cost way of making them go somewhere else. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1mW-POWER...kAAOSwXcVcrKgj

Ideally you'd position the CDs on wire outside the hangar at the main points of entrance for the birds. That way the CDs will catch the light and move about in the wind creating the dazzle effect you're after.

My engineering workshop is on a farm. One evening last summer the farm hands had a couple of those set up in the yard (about to go off to the crop fields). I asked if they could let one off. They did. My ears were still ringing next morning. Louder than a 12 bore.
You do not want to be within 100 yards of one of those things. They are Bl**dy (with a capital 'B') loud.
Mucking about with las*rs on an active airfield (think dawn/ dusk) is probably not a good idea either.
