MoD accused of 'superhangar' waste
The British defence ministry has been criticised by members of parliament for its decision to shut down a jet repair facility in south Wales just a year after it opened.

£100 million was spent constructing the super hangar which is now dubbed the White Elephant.

The facility is capable of accommodating up to 48 of the RAF's fast jets. A logistic review concluded that in future the jets should be serviced at their main operating bases rather than a single servicing centre.
