11/11/2009 655MaPS Away Team visits Woodford - 5th~8th November 2009
|
A working party of 10 volunteers from 655MaPS made a visit to Woodford in early November, to recover spare parts from XM603 to be used to support XM655.
|
|||
 |
|||
| We also gathered lots of other very useful spares such as Powered flight control units complete with their motors, and various other electrical components which are no longer available elsewhere.
When we arrived, XM603 looked a bit of a mess, with lots of panels, covers and doors either missing, lying on the pan or open and flapping in the wind. |
|||
 |
|||
|
We found and refitted as many of the panels and covers as we could, made jury struts for the swinging doors, and generally tidied things up. |
|||
 |
|||
|
We called it Operation Jordan, because we finished up with an enormous pair of Bristol's (finest vintage jet engines, of course) |
|||
 |
|||
|
And we left XM603 looking reasonably neat and tidy. |
