I don't know what the comment about the new Portmoak
'glider store' means but there are also 2 earlier
series
of construction photos on the Scottish Gliding Centre

We think there is unlikely to be a hangar with a significantly
higher storage density.

The 'Cape Hangars' in Worcester South Africa used the
same design perhaps 15
or more years ago. In addition to the bottom row of
gliders a number of
Libelles and other light ships were hoisted into the
roof which was a little
higher than the portmoak 'pretender'. :-)

It doesn't 'pretend' to be a first - in fact the Bristol
and Gloucestershire (Nympsfield) South hangar designed
by the late Tony Pentelow a lot longer ago than 15
years was the basis for the Portmoak design.
