Chameleon Tours Hangar

Shadowy confines of the Chameleon Tours Hangar, a sprawling aviation/airport hangar filled with wooden stairs, scattered crates, draped parachute silk, and parked aircraft. This location serves as the operational base for Spencer's alien replacement scheme and includes: 1. Main Hangar Area: A large, open space used for murders, interrogations, forensic investigations, and as a hiding spot for Polly. Key events include Spencer killing grey-suited duplicates, Blade interrogating Spencer, the Doctor/Jamie examining electrocuted corpses, and Ben observing the TARDIS being crated. 2. Hidden Compartment: A tight, shadowed space accessed through a sliding door panel in the hangar wall. Spencer conceals himself here to ambush the Doctor, who counters the trap using his handkerchief and coat. This compartment is a launch point for ambushes and adds to the hangar's tension. The hangar’s atmosphere is tense, blending pursuit, conspiracy, and solitude, with its vast interior cloaked in shadows and echoing with activity. Fuel scents and the absence of expected evidence (e.g., Gascoigne's body) heighten the suspense.
