Hangars

As FlyingForFun of Bournemouth has said (Hi Dean), the hangars at Blackpool are a disgrace. Being made mostly of asbestos, there were numerous panels blown out and left smashed on the apron during the January storms. Nobody from the airport seemed bothered! There are a number of panels missing in the roof with many owners pride & joy (including a very nice KingAir C90) getting covered in rain and asbestos debris - these are owners that have paid to have their planes hangared so they are under cover and away from the elements. Now there are buckets all over the hangar floor collecting rain water.
