XV244 is in an unheated hangar for the very short term as the group cannot afford the rent proposed by DIO. During the time it is under cover it is only visited during daylight so no electricity is used at any time. In the very near future 244 will be towed to a temporary location at Kinloss pending the clearance of the caravan site at which time it will be moved there. The long term plan of Morayvia is to provide a purpose-built Aviation Heritage Centre to celebrate the involvement of the Moray Firth airfields through the years and XV244 will form the centrepiece. The centre will include the nose section of XV240, so as to provide wheel chair access, a cafeteria and an Imax Theatre so scope for lots of local employment.
