NEW BRITISH HANGAR.
HEXAGONAL MARTELLO TOWER. A hangar of new design, the first of its kind in the World, is being completed at Gatwick, England. It is in the form of a hexagonal Martello tower. Euch of the six stalls will accommodate the largest type of air-liner, while in the centre will be the booking hall and waiting-room, from-which an underground passage leads to the railway station, served l>y electric trains from Brighton to London. It is expected that the hangar will eventually be a strong rival of Croydon.
A Martello tower is a kind of tower formerly used in English coastal defence.
