Four seasons in one day at Wellesbourne today, ranging from wet snow this morning to glorious sunshine early afternoon to showers later.

After problems with the hydraulic rig last week delaying our steering checks, we moved the aircraft forward far enough to be able to run the No.2 engine, and successfully tested the steering with the on-board hydraulics. We now have a very small adjustment to make, but the system was shown to be working well.

We got lots of other useful work done, including re-assembly of the Nav Rad seat, and the No.1 stbd fuel tank is now one bolt away from being removed. With a little luck, both the No.1 tanks will be out next week. 🙂
