I understand if you guys are fed up about the security issue, but I wonder if you could clear something up for me?

In the late eighties I recall the police helicopter used to land on a moveable pad and was wheeled into a hangar at the end of the row of hangars on the Elmdon apron. It looks like a few of those hangars are gone now.

In recent times was the helicopter moved to a permanent area close to the 06/24 runway?

I wonder why that was? At watching the landing / moving process firsthand back then it seemed very quick and hasslefree.

Why were the few hangars knocked down? Had they fallen into disrepair?

Thanks.
