About a mile long Wayne. The hangar where Jeff's latest shots are taken was built in the early 1990's, as 'The Sueprhangar', and is now the main entrance and called 'Air Space'. Half has exhibits, such as the Lancaster and Concorde, the othe half is a spare bay for temporary storage or minor service work.
The other hangars are from WW1 and WW2, plus the American Museum and the Land Warfare Hall, both purpose built, large buildings.
In the pic below, taken from the entrance path to the Land Warfare Hall, the American museum is on the left, with the 'Air Space' hangar in extreme distance. Behind the airliners, out of view, are four further hangars with more exhibits, many of them airworthy.

That picture is Terry staking the ground for 2017.

The 'X' spot is just to the right of the yellow posts, just out of shot, on the edge of what's known as 'The Tank bank', overlooking the western threshold of the runway.
Maybe I should get down there and build a private enclosure for 2017 - with a sign stating "No, you can't ****ing come through here" !!!

Jeff's trying to tell me something I think ..................
Cool pics. the Beech Staggerwing used to be part of Intrepid Aviation, which was Dave Gilmour's (Pink Floyd guitarist) company and was based at North Weald. Don't know who has it now, might still be Gilmour.
Duxford from above; the Land Warfare Hall in the foreground with the American Air Museum dome visible and the Super Hangar at the far end. That's been enlarged now, this pic was taken in the early 2000s from a Dragon Rapide.

Had the same view from a Tiger Moth but left my camera on the ground.
Excellent shot!
