Hangar 5 - Conservation in Action
Hangar 5, the westernmost original hangar, houses Duxford's aircraft conservation workshops.Open to the public, the hangar allows visitors to see museum staff and volunteers at work on a variety of conservation tasks. Notable projects include a Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter acquired from an American owner in 'jungle recovery' condition, and a Royal Aircraft Factory R.E.8 now on display in AirSpace.
