Hangar repairs

I’m pleased to be able to report that significant repair work is coming to an end on the centre hangar (H2) at Hooton.

It’s about ten years late but the main thing is it is actually happening. This repair work will give the hangar a new lease of life and stop any further degradation of the structure. It is just a pity that I will not be around to enjoy it.

In case it has not been clear in my preceding posts about the site, it is the poor management and worse, the manipulation of that management by unscrupulous individuals, not the project itself, which has been the main focus of my invective.

If, after I have left, the project undergoes a renaissance and has a bright future then I will be very happy. I reiterate, though, that I believe until the bad apples are removed or controlled then what success is achieved by repairs to the buildings will be wasted unless an imaginative and free-thinking board, unfettered by politics and vendetta, are in control.

Anyway, enjoy the pics and remember, the success of this recent work is almost entirely down to one (fair-minded and enlightened) person on the HPT Board.
