| Last updated on - November 27, 2006 THIS BUILDING WAS DISMANTLED AND REMOVED FROM LORIMER STREET PORT MELBOURNE AND MOVED TO TYABB AIRPORT What is significant? The former Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation factory was constructed from 1937 to manufacture military aircraft. The only remaining buildings of the extensive factory are a section of saw tooth factory to the west (now part of Hawker de Havilland/Boeing) and four hangars at the eastern end of the former factory at the corner of Lorimer Street and Todd Road. These hangars, dating from the Second World War, comprise one US made Butler Hangar and three British designed Bellman Hangars. The remaining Butler Hangar is one of two erected in 1942 for the assembly and flight testing of US aircraft. The other was relocated out of Victoria in 1943. The Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation was conceived in 1935 by Essington Lewis (1881-1961), the managing director of BHP. It was a private company formed by a consortium including BHP and GMH to manufacture military aircraft with the intention of providing Australia with the tools to fight the modern war that was looming. Land was selected adjoining the recently completed GMH factory at Fishermans Bend. The manager of the new factory was Lawrence Wackett (1896-1982), pilot, designer and manufacturer. The factory manufactured under licence a modified US designed advanced trainer which became known as the Wirraway. Other wartime aircraft to come from the factory included the Wackett elementary trainer, the Mustang and, famously the Boomerang, a fighter aircraft conceived, designed and manufactured in little over three months. Fishermans Bend became a centre of wartime aircraft industry with the adjacent Department of Aircraft Production factories and the Aeronautical Research Laboratories. After World War II these facilities have continued manufacturing and assembling aircraft. The Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation was taken over in 1986 and the majority of its buildings were demolished in 2003-04. After the departure of the Americans in 1943, the single remaining Butler hangar was used mainly as a shelter for factory aircraft undergoing flight testing. A portion of the hangar was walled off and used for the manufacture of a prototype of an advanced Australian designed fighter, the CA15, which only flew in 1946. The Butler Hangar is a steel framed structure still clad in its original ribbed metal sheeting, an early use of this profile which has now replaced corrugated iron for large industrial structures. The Butler Manufacturing Company, which produced many models of hangar during World War II, is still the world's largest manufacturer of steel prefabricated buildings and a prolific supplier of hangars worldwide. How is it significant? The Butler Hangar is of significance to the State of Victori |
