A bit OT but the hangars at Cardington are amazing. You see them in the distance and you think "oh that's interesting", then you realise they're a lot further

A bit OT but the hangars at Cardington are amazing.
You see them in the distance and you think "oh that's interesting", then you realise they're a lot further in the distance than you first thought, and you think "bloody hell! They're massive!"
- dkarp 11y agoif you like big hangars, the old CargoLifter Hangar[1] near Berlin, Germany is also amazing. Even more amazing since they went bankrupt and it was converted into a tropical island resort[2] where you can go to sun bathe in the icy Berlin winters.
