Hangar #1 - 1931
Made by Bob_2006
5160 Airport Road, RIchmond, BC. Description of Site: Hangar No. 1 is an arch-roofed industrial structure located at the end of Airport Road in the South Terminal of Vancouver International Airport. It is surrounded by the open flat land of Sea Island and by similarly scaled structures designed to accommodate airport activity. Statement of Values: Hangar No. 1 is considered to be an excellent example of an early functional hangar structure. As a rare survivor of this style of hangar, it is an important component of the South Terminal area where it is part of a compatible and contiguous grouping of structures of similar scale and function. This hangar is one of two identical structures designed by architect Arthur Bird, Vancouver City Architect, for the Vancouver Airport in 1931. It has an association with the original design and development of the Sea Island Airport, with the important aviation industry which developed in Richmond, and with the role of the airport during World War II as a major centre for air defense, aircraft and munitions plants, and RCAF training programs. As part of the war effort, Hangar No. 1 has symbolic connections to aviation history and our sense of nationalism. For more info...

The sign looks like it's been photoshopped in, but I swear that everything that appears in this photo was actually there! Perhaps even weirder is the fact that I was so paranoid about getting in trouble for not moving my car out of the way in a timely fashion that I stuck the camera out the sunroof and snapped these photos without framing them. Serendipity strikes again.

The banks of the Fraser River in Richmond BC Canada. Ran out at lunch time to make a quick exposure. Lovely light for the time of day.
