Understanding Bellman Hangars: Camden's WWII Heritage

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This blog post examines Camden Airfield's Bellman hangars, erected during World War II. These hangars were transportable structures for the RAAF Central Flying School under the Empire Air Training Scheme. British-designed by NS Bellman in 1936, these hangars represent Australia's aviation heritage and were crucial for pilot training. Over 280 were supplied across Australia and New Guinea and are part of the country's aviation archaeology.
