Wimpey Huts
3 Answers
Has anyone heard of a type of billet for WW2 soldiers known as a Wimpey Hut? I assume it may have been something like a Nissen Hut but I have been unable to find anything on a popular search engine!
Any info gratefully received. Thank you.

These two websites mention Wimpey's activities during WW2, but mainly with airfields. Accommodation for personnel is also mentioned, but not in detail:
