The Empty Hanger

Posted on September 20, 2011

I found this site whilst googling for a car part and ended up reading a few submissions. It reminded me of something that happened to me on the 8th May 2006, which I recorded on my LJ blog. I’ve copied it and pasted it below. This account is 100% true:

Today I was an airfield called Throckmorton in Worcestershire. We use this airfield as a training site for driver training, and I keep a number of the Training Fleet there – primarily stored in Hanger One. This is not my first visit to Throckmorton; I’ve been here three or four times previously.

At about 8:30 this morning I let myself in and, because the rain was hammering and the wind was blowing, I closed the large roller-shutter door behind me. Today Hanger One has twelve 4×4 vehicles of various makes all parked in a line, their rears about a metre away from the hanger wall. Ten minutes later I’ve got my head in the back of a Shogun taking an inventory of its contents when I distinctly heard a male voice with a northern accent call out “Ok, give it a try now.” As I’m the only person in the hanger, I was a little surprised to hear this. I look up and down the line of vehicles but see nobody, so I walk to the front and look up and down but still cannot see a soul. From here I can also see the rest of the hanger and its patently obvious I’m the only person here. I venture a “Hello?” but get only silence back.

Now, I grew up with ghostly goings on, voices and doors closing mysteriously when nobody’s about and it’s never bothered me before, but I’m getting spooked. I open up the shutter door. It’s a loud clanking monstrosity you can drive a Cessna through, so nobody has come or gone without me noticing. Now I’m REALLY getting spooked, so I quickly jump in my car and hair off the the main gate to see Darren the Site’s Facilities Manager.

Darren immediately sees that I’m not my usual bubbly self and I tell him the story. “Yeah, that makes sense.” He says. Before telling me that during WWII Throckmorton was a base for Wellington Bombers. On one occasion a Wellington was having engine trouble so they pushed it back into the hanger and started to have a look at it. One mechanic was on the wing tinkering under the cowling and his mate was standing by on the ground next to the prop. When the mechanic on the wing told his mate to give it a try, the other swung the prop. The engine started immediately and the lad overbalanced and fell towards the blades, which made short work of him.

Darren went on to say stuff often goes missing in Hanger One and reappears a few days or a week later, or gets moved about, but voices are very unusual. As I had to go back, I kept the roller door open and the engine on my car idling!
