English translation:radar (testing/installation) facility
Explanation:
A possible alternative that shifts the focus away from the structural nature of the building and towards its function.

Alas no specific G-hits for
"radar test(ing) facility" + Manching
but plenty of hits referring to the overall EADS-Werk at Manching as the "Manching facility".

I agree with your interpretation - this refers to just one of numerous buildings at the site, each with different functions. I would still suggest something along the lines of

"F4 in the radar (testing/installation) facility at the Manching site/plant"

radar hangar


Explanation:
There is a LEO translation as radar hangar; I wasn't sure it was the best, but I found this image, and it does look like a hangar...

Asker: Thank you. Funnily enough, d_williams and DW (EN) are one and the same. Nicks, eh? Sorry about any confusion caused! Thanks for the other link though. Unfortunately http://www.cube.co.at/bauten/bau_tersys.html is all in German, but it definitely looks mor like a hangar than a radar station or a radome (see Leo).

Asker: Ah! Super, danke schön Erika!

Example sentence(s):
  • In June 1996 GEC Marconi Avionics delivered the first ECR90 radar, which was installed in DA5 at Manching.
  • For political reasons (to allow DASA to maintain staff at its Manching facility) the move was postponed indefinitely.

Asker: True, except I think it means the specific building, rather than the entire facility.

Explanation:
Falls nicht auch für Fluggerät genutzt.

@Asker: F-4, so so. Dann doch nur Museumsstück. Unterbringung nur als Schau, nicht zur Nutzung! Darum bleibe ich bei shed; falls aber doch Nutzung ist eindeutig Hangar vorzuziehen. Danke.

Asker: i.O., ich kenne das Photo nicht; falls Archivphoto, dann Nutzung und dann Hangar. Aber ich erkundige mich und stelle Ergebnis rein - dauert etwas. F-4 wurde definitiv nie in D gebaut! Gruß.

Recherche hat Nicht-Nutzung bestätigt; Standort weil dort Platz ist. Halle war ausschließlich für Radar gedacht. Darum eben shed oder, wenn's präziser sein soll, der Vorschlag von C. Rowe.

Asker: Danke schön. Der F-4 der hier erwähnt wird ist ein Flugzeug, dementsprechend wird hier auch Fluggerät genutzt.

Asker: Jein. Heutzutage klar, aber damals nicht, und ich vermute doch, dass es sich hierbei um ein Archivfoto aus der Zeit handelt, als der F-4 dort gebaut, getested oder aufgerüstet wurde.

Asker: Stimmt, sie wurden nicht in D. gebaut, aber wesentliche Baugruppen wurden durch MBB, Dornier und VFW (heute alle EADS) in den Augsburg, Donauwörth, Friedrichshafen, und anderswo in D. gefertigt und nur zur Endmontage nach St. Louis verschifft. Daraus ergibt sich, dass ca. 10 % aller in den USA hergestellten Maschinen in erheblichem Umfang mit in Deutschland produzierten Bauteilen ausgestattet sind. The F-4F emerged as a lighter and simpler F-4E which was significantly cheaper and incorporated major components that were manufactured in Germany. (http://www.f-4.nl/f4_43.html / http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/f4_43.html) The Luftwaffe signed a contract with McDonnell Douglas for 88 RF-4Es in 1968; at the time the biggest order outside the USAF. The contract included industrial offsets for German industry, particularly production work for Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm who manufactured and supplied F-4 components to McDonnell Douglas' Phantom production facility in St. Louis. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-4_Phantom_operators)

Asker: Ganz zu schweigen von der ICE und Peace Icarus 2000 Kampfwertsteigerungsprogramme, die von der DASA/EADS in Manching durchgeführt wurden.

Asker: Herzlichen Dank! Handelt es sich also nicht um die Station 6/7 wie auf http://eurofighter.airpower.at/fertigung-endmontage.htm abgebildet?
