Painting an aircraft hanger floor

Congratulations to Graham who is a joint winner of our December #showusyourproject competition!

December Winner: Painting first part of exhibition hall in a 1917 built Belfast Truss aircraft hangar.

“The Hooton Park Trust purchased Regal Prime and Seal and Light Grey Polyurethane Floor paint for the first part of it exhibition hall in a 1917 built Belfast Truss aircraft hangar. Building 16 south bay which measures 150ft x 80ft is the first part of the project. We have since purchased both types in anticipation of opening up the second identical area in the north bay. Since painting we have started to fill the hall with aircraft exhibits and have also held a classic car auction in the building. We have been very pleased with the product which was easy to apply and requires very little upkeep and is wearing well even in the areas which get the footfall from visitors.

Graham Sparkes on behalf of the Hooton Park Trust.”
