Four years after being presented to the Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre, construction of a building to house the former Air Atlantique Douglas Dakota III KG651/G-AMHJ is under way with volunteers from the Friends of Metheringham Airfield group at the World War Two bomber base in central Lincolnshire. Ian Brett from the Metheringham Dakota team says, "The protective structure is not quite a hangar, as once the aircraft is in it will not be coming out again. It is unlikely we will get the sidewall panels installed for this winter, just the roof. We have raised funds for the first two phases of the project and this has been allocated, but we don't yet have money to complete the construction and fit the building out so that the Dakota can be displayed at its best."
