Former aircraft hangar, Building 47, part of a group of three detached military aircraft hangars built in 1913-14 for the Royal Flying Corps, known as Major Burke's sheds, (see also NO75NW0792, NO75NW0793), part of the former Montrose Air Station (NO75NW0031). The three hangars were the first to be built as part of Montrose Air Station. They are among the earliest surviving examples of first generation aircraft hangars in the United Kingdom and the only example in Scotland. Rectangular on plan and arranged from north to south, in an eastward facing crescent shape, the sheds are symmetrical with pitched roofs and gabled north and south elevations. Constructed from timber-frames over a base of concrete and brick, they are clad in corrugated metal. The east elevation of each shed has a pair of gables, each of which has four timber panelled sliding access doors. The cladding of Nos. 46 and 47 is concealed by late 20th century secondary steel cladding and the access doors of these two sheds have been altered and reduced in size. Currently in use as a commercial property as part of the Broomfield Industrial Estate in the southwest of the former airfield complex.
