Our premises

The original Rotor & Wing hangar was built in 1980. It was extended in 1991 to incorporate an equipment room, larger stores and a new staff room. It was again extended in 1997 for the purposes of Part 145 approval. This included a new component workshop, metal working bay and airframe overhaul workshop. The most recent extension was completed in late 2012. It nearly doubled the hangar floor area, provided new engineers offices, further extended the stores and provided a new ancillary workshop.
