The shots are 99% fun taken at lunch or tea break for historic records, the hangar has had aircraft like the CL-44D half in half out, the Canadian Lancaster and numerous airliners for dismantling. They linger in the doorway until the tail is removed and then dragged in to be consumed. Marine one has also been in, unfortunately I wasn't allowed.
The hangar is second world war vintage so until recently the doors were complete metal and only windows around the top. Lighting is poor and the front door faces South so gets sun or light most of the day which burns away at your tail in the shot.
