They anre also in the middle of planning a redevelopment of. part of the site. I couldn’t understand the disposal of the HE111 all be it a Spanish built one and the Junkers JU52. I realise they were not RAF types and were built under licence types, but find a genuine one these days…but they did tell a story and in their own right told a part of the RAF and Britains story, after all if they didn’t, why did we bother to recover the Dornier from the North Sea. A lot are NOT swops, but disposals.
