Careful with the criticism guys – the new hanger being built is an awesome piece of engineering. I spent a long time talking to the guy whose job it is to arrange the aircraft in the new building including the suspension of several types from the roof (Hunter, Mig 15, Dak, Sabre and more). The effort being put into suspending aircraft (in unusual attitudes) without damaging them is admirable. The number of aircraft going in is also incredible and until you see the scale model in person it seems impossible (they estimate 3 – 4 months to get all of the aircraft in!). We must also not forget that the museum does not exist for the small number of enthusiats but for the general public who, lets face it, would far rather visit a museum with an exciting and attractive building than a series of rectangular green boxes.
