Looking through the various pictures on other threads, eapecially those on the airtourer thread, there are recognisable hamilton airport buildings, shown in the background, but they dont appear to match todays layout as far as roads go etc. I'm interested to see how the western side (Aero Club Robertsons etc) was laid out. I have found the hangar base of the "unfinished Hangar frame" near the old WAC hangar - CKE gets run up on it from time to time! and also the old road leading around to it.
In many pictures there is the "Aeromotive" Hangar (previously Air Parts) recognisable by its sloping sides and steel frame, and I know that it received an extension on the front in the early 1990s. It appears as though Steele Rd ran in front of the hangar rather than behind at some time? can someone confirm?. The big bare area between it and the super Air site (where Robertson Fletchers used to dwell) there appears to have been some old ramshackle villa at some stage. the WAC clubrooms was also the old NAC / SPAANZ terminal. Anyone got any other pics of this side from days past?
