21/02/2015 Megapixles Visit

The 21st of February saw XM655 at the mercy of an invasion of cameras as the Megapixles photography group visited

Eric opted to host most of the cockpit tours on this occasion, (possibly because it was quite cold outside!) whilst 'Bovril' took the middle visit

However, before Eric could install himself in the cockpit, he had the additional task of being crew chief for the systems demonstration. In addition to the usual routine of flying controls, exterior lights, air brakes and bomb doors, Isi also ran the Rover AAPP (Airborne Auxiliary Power Pack) whilst Charles looked on

Once the systems demonstration was complete, the group split themselves into smaller groups of four for the cockpit tours with Eric, whilst those not in the cockpit endeavoured to find a shot of the Vulcan that nobody else had!

A rather less than formal group shot completed the visit with a little mutual snapping taking place!

Av both snaps and gets snapped!
