Needs English Heritage badgering, otherwise we would have been badgering German Heritage.

well said that just about sums it up.I think we should push hard to ensure that the original AVRO Hangar is preserved in some way and moved to a site where it will be preserved if need be.This must be one of the very few hangars of this period left after the ones at Hooton Park and must surely warrant being Listed by English heritage.A grading of 1 or 2 would ensure its safety for the long term.

It is disgusting that it may be pulled down and I for one would support a petition to the local authority and English heritage if need be .

I do not know the process for raising one on line as i must confess to being a computer illiterate. We had a big push and fund raise on this forum to save one of the last HS748 aircraft.So in the same vein lets do something to make people aware of the plight of this piece of history. Lets have a campaign to save this hangar for posterity not a landfill !!!!!!.

Just one example I am not advocating this as a solution but just a for if; Elvington are looking for and trying to fund raise for a new hangar to go next to their main one.A historic hangar would be very nice in place and used for its purpose historic aircraft.If nothing could be found or done. Willing to put time in to help with any moving dismantling if it ever got that far.
