Whoa, shouldn't any wrath be directed at WM - the one that started and funded the project?

Sorry, didn't mean to get my wrath out
Certainly if you were DM you might have wrath to direct at WM.
But that raises an interesting point. WM was almost giddy at the prospects of building the hangar, an excerpt of him telling a friend:
a series of good coincident for me...it seemed like an angel was causing some things to happen...
Well, more good fortune came my way...practically begged us...offered unheard of conditions...
its really good...Another piece of good luck came my way...
Giddy, but not unaware of the risks:
The unknown in all this downwind sailing is whether we will get the customers we need.

Whoever is advising DM these days seems to be advising him to hang on to the hangar, rather than dump it the way had DM had wanted to in his ignorance.
DM, in his naivete, however, seems to have seen the hangar as doomed as soon as it caused a cash crunch for the two of them in 2012. Back to the Star jailhouse interviews, he made a big deal of having to go over the hangar's accounts as if there were some kind of fraud or something.
I am sure DM saw the MRO consultants as a bunch of parasites and WM as their enabler.
However keep in mind that a consultant is just an 'unemployed professional' and they restlessly roam the earth trying to find a host and sell their knowledge. The MRO consultants were pushed into unemployment by the recession and they made their own jobs by approaching WM and offering to do the only thing they knew how to do: build an MRO.
Now the world may not have needed more MRO's at that point in time, especially since many had closed, many MRO professionals were unemployed and on the loose...but WM had the money so hell why not.
Stats Can and the Region of Waterloo had data that showed air traffic in the Region of Waterloo was going to explode, the MRO consultants were optimistic and WM may have fallen victim to a business technique called the clusterf---, by which multiple consultant groups or concerned parties together, present a unified, fantastical version of reality to an investor that helps separate them from their money. However, that's just business.
So, personally, I see the roots of the hanger fiasco in Government and the MRO consultants, with WM playing more of a victim.
However WM (nor DM) did not lose the hangar in the end anyway. In fact the hangar now has tenants and income.
WM didn't deserve to die because he had invested in the hangar.
