The "old" Air UK hangar, the number escapes me, (the one on the right as you go through the security gate), used to hold a small event annually. This hangar was the location of the last Glen Miller concert held for the USAF before he was sadly lost over the channel shortly afterwards. Every year a small group of people used to arrive, put up a couple of tables in the corner of the hangar with photos and bits and pieces on them, and play Glen Miller music for an hour or so. I don't know when they stopped doing this, but I am sure that they still did this up to about 1982 if not later.
The photos were interesting, they showed the familiar inside of the hangar, but with Liberators and not F27s on jacks.
