A former RAF officers’ mess once home to World War Two fighter pilots including Spitfire ace Douglas Bader, is to be turned into offices.

I suspect the developer will fund the renovation
The article isn’t clear on who will own it when complete. It just states that the mess is part of the IWM.

If I remember correctly there is a very nice library in the Ante Room of the Officers Mess. I wonder where all the paintings and books have gone?

Maybe the developer would like to run the library?

So a couple of weeks ago, they were going to close the library due to lack of funds, and now they are going to renovate the Officers Mess?
Something seems a little askew here.
