The beautiful doors from Bromma aircraft hangars (1930 - 40s)
Hangar 1 and 2 were designed by architect Paul Hedqvist. Hangar 1 with a size of 75x50 meters was completed in 1942. The client was AB Aerotransport but during the Second World War, the fighter plane FFVS J 22 was built for several years in the large hall. Hangar 1 has an overhead steel truss that supports the roof. I the hangar recycled Hedqvist truss beams from the old Traneberg bridge that had just been demolished.
In the 1940s, two more large hangars were built at the airport. Among them was Hangar 3, which was inaugurated in 1948, it was Bromma's largest with a size of 151x62 meters. The huge gates went on rails and had air conduction. The hangars will be the largest in Northern Europe.
And nowadays everything is a shopping center - Bromma Blocks but they still have the beautiful doors left.
