They were destroyed by Luftwaffe in summer 1940.

 

These hangars were used on many English airfields. (Hawkinge, Lympne,  Andover...)

They're close enough, and if the Devs would have to exactly recreate every single building at every single airport, you'd be looking at twice the development time at thrice the retail price ;)

Isn’t that ‘cause the Lufties bombed ‘em in 1940?

I know it's hard work to replicate new buildings.  developers do what they want.  It's just information I give.
