  Absolutely!

Royal Flying Corps mechanical workshop

from Provincial Archives of Alberta

• Swordscookie said:

  At first sight I thought it was a dining room:-) Typical military, everything squared off on shipshape!

• Provincial Archives of Alberta said:

  I can see that! I get the sense that this workshop was set up as a model and that actual workshops would have been somewhat less tidy.

• Swordscookie said:

  Provincial Archives of Alberta I would have thought training for aircraft mechanics rather than workshop???? A real workshop would have been a lot less tidy, real work going on:-)

• Provincial Archives of Alberta said:

  Yes, it probably was for training purposes. However, "workshop" is a good, broad, catch-all term in the absence of further information.
