ST PAUL MALMESBURY WITHOUT
1360/0/10016 HULLAVINGTON BARRACKS 01-DEC-05 Building 81 (Station Staff Offices)
GV II Station offices. 1938. Air Ministry's Directorate of Works and Buildings. Drawing No 2878/37. Bath stone ashlar on brick, profiled tile roof covering.
PLAN: A long single-storey hipped block with central lobby and deep central 'T' arm to the rear, and with small later extension to right.
EXTERIOR: All windows steel casement with horizontal bars. Front range has central panelled, part-glazed doors set back, on 2 steps, framed by rounded pilasters and with a small canopy. Each side are five 2-light windows under a common lintel-band, flanked by single lights, separated by downpipes with hopper-heads. The back has a 3-bay return, then the deep 4-bay wing, with 1 or 2-light casements, and a door each side; on the SW side a 2-bay addition to the rear. A high flush-coped parapet is taken all round.
INTERIOR: panelled doors.
HISTORY: This office building is one of a group of technical buildings at this nationally important site that are both substantially complete - with original windows and other fitments - and which display the successful fusion of functional and aesthetic requirements that distinguished the early phase of the post-1934 expansion of the RAF. It also comprises part of a remarkably complete technical group, established to the N of the main group on this base for the purpose of providing repair and administration facilities to the Aircraft Storage Unit.
Hullavington, which opened on June 6th 1937 as a Flying Training Station, is in every respect the key station most strongly representative of the improved architectural quality characteristic of the air bases developed under the post-1934 expansion of the RAF. Its position in the west of England with other training and maintenance bases also prompted its selection in 1938 as one of series of Aircraft Storage Units for the storage of vital reserves destined for the operational front-line. For further details on the site, see Buildings 59, 60 and 61 (The Officers' Mess).
