I seem to remember from previous posts that the movement of aircraft out of Hangar One at Duxford is due to happen this week.
Anything happened yet, Ashley ?
If not, can you say when things are due to start moving around ?

The Lanc will get a turn outside. And the Lightning.

So will aircraft like the Lanc and Sunderland be outside?
Rare photo oppurtunities.

According to the Duxford Diary (IWM staff monthly newsletter), this is due to start on 19th April, to be completed by/on 18th May. Concorde and the Comet will remain in Hanger 1 until 17th July. However, from 23rd April, Hanger 1 will be closed Monday to Friday, with access to Concorde only granted at weekends.
Does that answer your question? 🙂
