According to the Duxford Diary (IWM staff monthly newsletter), this is due to start on 19th April, to be completed by/on 18th May. Concorde and the Comet will remain in Hanger 1 until 17th July. However, from 23rd April, Hanger 1 will be closed Monday to Friday, with access to Concorde only granted at weekends.
Does that answer your question? :)

So will aircraft like the Lanc and Sunderland be outside?
Rare photo oppurtunities.

The Lanc will get a turn outside. And the Lightning.

I seem to remember from previous posts that the movement of aircraft out of Hangar One at Duxford is due to happen this week.
Anything happened yet, Ashley ?
If not, can you say when things are due to start moving around ?
