Hendon. They even fitted shortened Sunderland wing floats supports so it allowed more cafe space... they would have shifted the whole aircraft if they weren't worried it would collapse.

Have a look at the before and after shots in post one.

The latest is the Hampden rebuild is going there, but they have decided not to rebuild the wings, so it will be displayed wingless and split in two so you can see inside.
