Back in the newly refurbished hangar

Having added this blog post about a week ago ... we were disappointed to find it had disappeared ... so here is something very similar to what we originally wrote ...
When Naomi was 10 days old, Mark took all his girlies into the hangar plus several boxes of doughnuts for the guys ... to celebrate the newest member of the family and to have her first aeroplane photo ... of which there are destined to be many more!!
Having spent some time at home to look after all three of the women in his life, Mark returned to a newly refurbished hangar. After a successful 'raise the roof' campaign for MMS, Hangar A now has a brand new roof and door. This was for the original MMS hangar, built years ago and desperately in need of these updates!
See below some photo's of the roof mid-process ...
Here's the main door ... or should we say ... here is where the main door should be!! While the work was being done there was both snow and very cold weather and also a tornado warning ...
... but now the work is complete and as you can see below looks great. The new door is a hydraulic one piece swing door ... replacing a very heavy folding concertina door to each side ... this will allow for bigger planes to be worked on in the hanger enabling MMS to serve flying missions worldwide more effectively.
