3 x L type hangars 5163/39 - 5165/39, the two numbers may be that one had its own heating plant and the other did not. Their dimensions were 167ft x 300ft x 25ft. L Types were produced by the Teesside Bridge and Engineering Co. Ltd. This type were used on the other ASU's and built of steel frames made at the factory and then bolted on site, a steel framework made up each face and then covered in concrete, this was then waterproofed and a layer of earth and turf placed over to add as camouflage. Here the turf was never used. Two sets of sliding doors allowed an opening of 70ft.

You can see here there is a slight concrete wall higher than the roof line. This was to hold back the turf covering that may or may not have been placed over these three L sheds.
