Like it or not, whoever, if anybody, gets involved, the outlook can't be promising.
Sort of correct. Abingdon had a new hangar (novel in building the roof then jacking it up with the walls). Dishforth solved the problem with the unique ground handling 'skates' - fitted under the mains and nose gear, raising the nose to lower the tail and allowing the tilted aircraft to be moved sideways into the 'old style' hangar.
