The Nimrod line hangar was the one behind the Control Tower, the Beige coloured one with the Saw Tooth roof, No2 Hangar I think.

The Nimrod Line Sqn (NLS) when based on South Side used Hangars 1, 2 & 3, No 1 Hangar was also half used by the Arm Eng Flight, it is to the west of the Pink Hangar, No 2 Hangar is the Pink hangar and No 3 hangar to the East of No 2 Hangar. No 4 Hangar (round roof) was used by ASF and is to the East of No 3 Hangar, this has recently been refurbished to accomadate the Nimrod MRA4
Between No 2 Hangar and the main taxiway is a small green single story building, this was the old NLS building and is now used by visiting crews
In the last days of NLS they moved over to the north side of the airfield and used the RUB Hangar. Although they did use South side often.
The NMSU Hangars are No 11 & 13, No 11 hangar is the one nearest to the Findhorn Road with No 13 to its west, these are still currently in use and they are expected to be used when Nimrod scrapping commences
