Launceston has Australia's most expensive freight shed. It was originally built by National Jet at the behest of Qantas to set up an overnight base for the 146's. The Hangar was built and fitted out with all the good gear, LAMEs employed and relocated at great expense, only to be told by Qantas management after about two months of operation "oh we don't need that now....". Nice one.
Just to be pedantic, it was not a freight shed but a maintenance hangar. Now being put to good use by Sharp Airlines. Agreed about the great expense and good gear bit - even has a heated floor. Luxury.......if it is ever used.
