On my recent visit to Duxford the Conservation Hangar was closed and stated that it will remain so until the summer so it seemed we would have to wait a while to see what would be replacing the Victor in the conservation area. However a news update from Duxford confirms that the hangar is undergoing some vital infrastructure work and will have a new layout.
Four previously unseen vehicles are to be restored commencing this year to go in to a new WWII exhibition planned for 2025. This exhibition will also include the Halifax nose section and the Heinkel Salamander. It sounds like this new display will be in the back of Hangar 5 which has been a bit of a dumping ground in recent years.
Also due for conservation is the Avro Shackleton which is destined for a Cold War and Contemporary Conflict gallery in the years to come.
Sounds like there will be ongoing developments to keep us interested.
