Shantytown

The video showcases Shanty Town in England, a makeshift city built by a mobile reclamation and repair squadron to house glider maintenance personnel. Initially lacking housing, the squadron repurposed glider crates into comfortable living quarters. The residents have grown fond of their handmade homes, preferring them over newly furnished quarters. The settlement now spans half a mile of the glider assembly field.
