On 9 September 2011 a new and larger display hangar was opened at MOTAT 2. The existing blister hangar was moved and restored as part of the same project. With the construction of the new hangar it was now possible to display the restored De Havilland Mosquito and Lockheed Hudson. Short S25 Sunderland Mk V and NAC DC3 Dakota were in moved inside as their overhauls and external painting was completed towards the end of summer 2012. The Short S45A Solent Mk 4, Ventura and top dressing Lodestar will be housed in due course as restorations and building provisions allow.
