Fls @ Lgw

Can anybody tell me what is happening to the FLS hangar in LGW, it seems to have been quiet as the grave for some time now. Each time I taxi past the only sign of life there seems to be the moss on the Trident.

Rumour has it that EasyJet are going to take it over - whether that means FLS will open it up again is anyones guess looking at the state of FLS at the minute.

Would you fit a 330 in there? As I understand Monarch are looking for a hangar in the UK to help deal with the additional airframes they have coming.

It was designed to take a 747-400 but if you jacked it for retractions then a beam had to be removed from the roof or the tail fin would mate with it.
