Where has the Hangar gone at Newcastle?

Popped up to Northumbria Helicopters today at Newcastle Airport only to find that the Hangar that used to house various helicopters and light aircraft had disappeared!

Does anyone know why it has been removed and where the aircraft are now being housed?

Bellman has been demolished before it fell down/because it was making the place untidy.

Choppers now park in front of the Academy hangar and some of the GA have moved to the apron near Samson's - don't know where the rest have gone.

Pulled down 2 months ago, at least now we have a bit of a view, new lights are being installed as we speak....

Rest of the cabs are on the GA site although Northumbia staff are still working out of the Portakabin.

Thanks chaps, I noticed a couple of JET2 aircraft parked in that vicinity together with a few others........what is that area going to be used for now?

Timex, as you say 'now you've got a bit of a view' are you involved with the Police Helicopter?

The Jet 3 and the Fokkers? are the mail planes. Not certain what will happen to the hard standing.
