XM655 Maintenance and Preservation Society

30/06/2015 Warwick House Retired Employees Association

20 Members of the Warwick House Retired Employees Association visited XM655 under a blue summer sky. Following a briefing and photo call in front of the Vulcan, they were treated to a systems demonstration including running the Rover AAPP (Airborne Auxiliary Power Plant) and then as usual they split into groups of 4 for the cockpit visits and tours of the external areas
