Monarch Hangar. Kilo/Lima Taxiways..........

Will the hangar be facing the Kilo taxiway? If it is will this be closed when the new hangar opens?

I see they are rebuilding a new compass bay nearly finished near L1.

As the old < NEW > compass bay would have been smack bang in the middle of the new hangar.

It will be interesting if they resurface Lima or as the locals know the cross wind runway.

Will be interesting what they do with parking Stands 505 + 506. Think Eurojet are going to have to have some more concrete/apron put down in front of there Hangar. Think the road in front of there hangar will have to be re routed at some point.

At times earlier on this year with all the AN-12 movements the Elmdon apron was crying out for more apron parking. My thought is if the Kilo taxiway goes they might as well close Hotel. Take a line straight down Foxtrot. And where the Helicopter aiming point used to be build a new taxiway towards L1. And tarmac the whole area west of a new Foxtrot taxiway for parking
