Do not know if any other hangars are damaged, nor how the outside exhibited aircraft are doing, now. :|

...a local team has been in contact with police.
It seems a relatively small part of the roof of the Air Space hangar is currently at risk.

Makeshift repairs are to start when it is safe to do so.

Piccie of the closed-off M11 motorway, with the Air Space Hangar in the background.
The lee side / lij-zijde that is, the one "in de luwte", so not into the wind.

No visible damage to be seen whatsoever when looked at from the M11, the Grange Road bridge...
