As PA474 at the end of this season will be residing in its new hangar at Duxford for it major I think its time to come up with a name for the place.
Arco have Blenheim Palace and of course Area51 so lets see if we can come up with something original.
Grand Slam Gardens
Lanc Luster
Merlins R Us

If the place really must have a name I suggest either Albert or Linda.
Albert = Avro Lancaster Being Expertly Refurbished Today.
Linda = Lancaster In New Duxford ‘Angar

That’s the silliest thread I’ve read in a long time!
What ever you call it here, it will probably end up being called the ‘Sir David Attenborough’ anyway.

I am with Ghostrider on this as well. Bob, short and sweet, easy to remember and relevant.
By: Beermat - 3rd June 2016 at 14:37
I like ‘Bob’. Or Kate, for short.
By: Bob - 3rd June 2016 at 14:32
I would call the hangar ‘Bob’.
I’m okay with that choice…

I knew straight away that that would be me.:D However, I think the meaning was clear which, at the end of the day, is the only thing that really matters. So no complication there really. We have discussed this on here many, many times in relation to spelling and grammer (yes I know but I went to a technical school:apologetic:) and the dreaded greengrocer’s’ (just to be safe) apostrophe. The “end of the day” is relevant as I find that as it gets late I start to struggle with even the simplest of words and have to look them up. Of course, we all secretly know what this could be the onset of but like the big C nobody wants to mention it.
Anyway, thanks for drawing my attention to my mistake so that I can correct it and put an end to my embarrassment.
So that this stays on topic, hangar, Duxford, Avro, Lancaster are mentioned here otherwise the “off topic” police will be along as well.:dev2:
Please note. No use of unnecessary quote.:angel:

For starters I think calling it a hangar rather than a hanger is a good place to start, let’s not overcomplicate matters…….

I suspect the fighters and Dak will also be refurbed in the new hangar and as such it’s likely to get referred to as the BBMF hangar.
I seem to recall seeing the new hangar on a plan that showed “Building 430” or 435…or was it AREA 51 Revision A

‘HANGAR PA474 FOR THE USE OF’
By: paul1867 - 2nd June 2016 at 23:49
Er “The New Hangar” but might get confused with Airspace, “Building 617” if free, “Building PA474”, “BOB the Re-Builder”, “Duxford Services”.
I understood you perfectly Sideslip, hangar permanent, PA474 not permanent, simples.
By: Ghostrider 01 - 2nd June 2016 at 13:27
I would call the hangar ‘Bob’.
By: woodbridge10 - 1st June 2016 at 17:54
Or even Building 850 as it’s twice the size !
By: Pen Pusher - 1st June 2016 at 17:12
Building 425A
Building 425 is the ARCo workshops.:D

Why not go with the thread title ?? (leaving out the “, Name???” part).

Works for me….

Devil’s advocate, but…
Does it need a name?
Of course, we name everything in aviation
By: Trolly Aux - 1st June 2016 at 15:48
Perhaps they could name it the Battle of Britain hall; I don’t think the name is in use elsewhere…….
Not for much longer anyway.

We know that the Lancaster will only occupy the Hangar for the duration of the major but we can still name it can we not?
Blenheim Palace still has its name and the Blenheim has been out of there for donkeys years
