Yeah I know,I know, how long is a piece of string?
I was talking to our farmer/landlord today and he asked me how much a hangar big enough for four small SEPs-PA28/C152/172 would be :
I’m thinking same size as the Eastern hangar at Knettishall (see image on our websit. fersfieldflyers.co.uk -at midpoint)
I told him I had no idea but it would have to be metal/secure/lockable - poly tunnels/metal hangars with slashable flaps for doors would be useless.
I know there are several farmers on here and wonder if they could give a ballpark figure of cost( and also of ground dimensions).
Happy to be laughed out of court: it’s just that a recent drone video has shown up a very tempting lump of land in an unploughable corner of a field .
Our group has dreamt about this for years but with no capital always dismissed it out of hand ;However farmer’s ears pricked up……… He says such sheds come up from time to time in the farming mags-need to know size -…..
Any help & advice gladly received
Although no-one seems to want to buy our arrow share I get regular enquiries re hangarage (including ironically the last person to not buy our share -due to habitus-.)
TIA
