Another busy day at Wellesbourne today. Lots of progress on the No.1 fuel tanks, which are now both open at top and bottom, so they will be well vented ready for removal next week. The Nav. Radar’s seat has been painted and is now ready for assembly and re-installation, and the electrics have been disconnected from the Nav. Plotter’s seat in preparation for removal.
The bottom surface of the No.4 elevon has been de-skinned, and dismantling is almost complete on the spare H…ouchin TRU. The only downside to the day was the refusal to start by our hydraulic rig, so the steering calibration has had to be postponed.
We also had lots of visitors, both booked parties and casual arrivals, so we were kept pretty busy all day.
