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
website ...._photos_2.htm and ....._photos_1.htm

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'. :-)

The ultimate in inefficiancy must be the T4 hanger at Lasham. A great big
hanger with one end blocked off so gliders can only be loaded at the other.
Tough luck if yours is right at the back. Remove 25 + gliders, remove yours,
replace 25+ gliders. A recipe for hanger rash if I ever saw one

Not with private direct entrance/exit for every glider, anyhow. I consider
the construction as the traditional glider hangar. Ordinary large halls
(maybe with doors on both ends) can be packed equally dense, maybe even
more, but getting only the last/midmost glider out is painfull. I didn't
found any ratios describing gliders per area or ?'s per glider, did anyone
else..?

I tried to post this link into an estonian newsgroup, but sent it
accidentaly here. We need a cheap hangar for 10 gligers and any good
ideas or fotos are welcome.
