28/06/2014 Chipping Camden Mens Keep Fit Group Visit

Saturday morning saw our female volunteers getting quite excited at the thoughts of a visit by the Chipping Camden Mens Keep Fit Group and there did appear to be a little extra make-up in evidence! We think they were expecting a group of young body-builders!

Still without our Chairman and Chief Engineer, it once again fell to Len to welcome our visitors and give them a little history of XM655.

Once the Systems Demonstration of the powered flying controls, air brakes, bomb doors, navigation and landing lights was completed, our visitors split up into groups of 3 or 4, each with a volunteer, to be shown around the aircraft and given a cockpit tour.

As the weather was very mixed, with a series of heavy, but fortunately short, downpours, we were lucky to get a dry spell for the group to have their photo-call.
