[Mayfly]

Any one have any more info on the above?

It was reported on Twitter last night - I hope there were no A/C in there.

A damned shame, although I hope that it was GROUND EQUIPMENT that was lost and NOT aircraft!

[Jigsaw]

Thank you for the update Leila.

[Mayfly]

Yes thanks for that - I hope he's not seriously hurt.

Shame about the vehicles if they have been lost but better than a life.

looks like a nice traction engine in the back what a shame glad no one was killed tho

[Gaz]

Yeah, not one of "our" hangars.

Looks like one of the car workshops

Hope he's alright! If it's the man I think it is (Bloke who runs the green goddess) he's a really nice chap

[Leila]

he lost his very old steam train in the fire that was yeas & years old I'm gutted for him,he loved that train been passed thru generations

[Xplumberlives]

Let's hope that the insurance was up to date!

Traction engines are substantial chunks of metal. It will hopefully only be superficial damage. Looking at the aftermath picture, the fire wasn't hot enough to melt or warp the thicker bits of metal.
