I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The 51 Sqn hangar was designed for the pre-war bombers, wartime bombers and successive aircraft were all designed to fit. At 130 feet it is 10 feet wider than a Victor 2 was. It would be a very tight fit.

Also what is the height of the fin? Add fin doors?
