Aircraft hanger extension
Duxford, Cambridge

About This Project

Phase 2 assisted the Aircraft Restoration Company (ARC) in securing planning permission for the construction of a new purpose-built hangar for aircraft repair and restoration at Duxford Imperial War Museum.

From this historic base ARC provides an extensive range of aviation services undertaking major servicing, restorations and repairs on historic aircraft for a number of warbird owners in the UK and abroad. In addition to projects for the MOD and RNHF, ARC have also secured the contract for major servicing of The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight fighter aircrafts, Dakota and Lancaster.

The new hangar was completed in 2016 and is primarily used for the major servicing of The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight fighter Lancaster aircraft which is one of only 2 remaining original aircraft left in the world.

Phase 2 continue to be engaged by ARC to assist in relevant planning matters on this important heritage site.
