Popped up to Northumbria Helicopters today at Newcastle Airport only to find that the Hangar that used to house various helicopters and light aircraft had disappeared! :confused:
Does anyone know why it has been removed and where the aircraft are now being housed?

Bellman has been demolished before it fell down/because it was making the place untidy.
Choppers now park in front of the Academy hangar and some of the GA have moved to the apron near Samson's - don't know where the rest have gone.
Pulled down 2 months ago, at least now we have a bit of a view, new lights are being installed as we speak....:ok::ok:
Rest of the cabs are on the GA site although Northumbia staff are still working out of the Portakabin.

Thanks chaps, I noticed a couple of JET2 aircraft parked in that vicinity together with a few others........what is that area going to be used for now?
Timex, as you say 'now you've got a bit of a view' are you involved with the Police Helicopter?
The Jet 3 and the Fokkers? are the mail planes. Not certain what will happen to the hard standing.
