It was for a while stored in one of the hangars at St Mawgan. One of the old metal hangars at the top of the hill still had the shack handling gear in it.

So one weekend, whilst I was on shift at NLF we moved it 'sideways' into the hangar. So it did not remain in open storage. As I recall all the handling tackle was rather rusty and mega stiff but we towed the shack so the mains were on the slides and I think the tailwheel was rotated with the use of two greased metal plates and the whole ensemble was 'slid' into the hangar.
