  Blast pen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A blast pen was a specially-constructed E-shaped double bay at British RAF World War 2 fighter stations, being either 150 feet or 190 feet wide and 80 feet front-to-back, accommodating aircraft for safe-keeping against bomb blasts and splinters during enemy air-attacks.
Although the pens were open to the sky the projecting sidewalls preserved the aircraft from lateral damage, with 12-inch thick, 9-feet high concrete centres, and banked-up earth on either side, forming a roughly triangular section 18-feet wide at their base.
Examples may still be seen at the present Kenley Aerodrome and at North Weald aerodrome in Essex close to "The Squadron" bar, some pens have had their second bay removed over the years, thus becoming U-shaped.

 Eye Injury Caused by Tear-Gas Weapons
The blast from a tear gas weapon, such as a tear gas pen, has three components: the propellant, the wadding, and the chemical agent.
The third component of the blast is the tear gas itself, and in most pens the chemical agent is in the form of a fine powder.
Various features of the tear gas weapon, such as the blast force, the propellant charge, the wadding, and age of the cartridge, in addition to the chemical agent itself, should be considered in evaluating such eyes either clinically or microscopically.

 Target selection and force requirements: by Wg Cdr K.K Badhwar, AVSM, VrC, Indian Airforce.
One element is the factory producing aircraft, another is aircraft in storage, another is aircraft dispersed in blast pens and yet another is aircraft actually taking part in air operations.
Attack against aircraft reserves may be recommended, but if they are protected in reinforced concrete covered blast pens, they will form an extremely difficult target to destroy.
Selection of elements out of a chain of targets will have to be done by the planning staff considering factors like time, value of the target from the enemy's point of view, enemy's air defence system protecting such targets and the ease or otherwise with which repairs or replacements can be carried out.
