One of a group of four hangars present at Baldonnell Aerodrome. The scale of such a structure is awe inspiring, dwarfing all other structures in the vicinity. Although modified over time to be maintained as an efficient part of a working airbase, it still retains its original size and character, and the original materials to the north and part of the west elevations. A valuable, and rare, example of Irish military and aviation history.
