Isn't that the newest one at the western end of the field where Boeing will be doing the P2F B737 conversions?

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

I was there a couple of weeks back the hangar is where you mentioned and has a massive Boeing sign on it from memory

What is P2F conversion - B738F conversions?

P2F = Passenger to Freighter

Sounds good

Wish Boeing would build a hangar at Norwich!

The conversion line has not been set up yet. They perform regular maintenance in the hangar currently with many 737s and 787s having passed though since opening a couple of years ago. The BBJ here now will not be converted to a freighter.
