Busy day at Wellesbourne today with preparations for Wellesbourne Wings and Wheels in full swing. In the cockpit, we needed a contortionist to get the last mounting bolt installed on the Nav. Radar seat, even with the improved access provided by the Nav. Plotter seat being out for refurbishment. We also completed a physical review and inspection of all the on-board fire extinguishing systems ~ the next step will be full system electrical tests in the next week or two.

New pitot heads with working anti-icing heaters were installed to replace the existing units, and we completed the blanking of the No.1 fuel tank pipework and refitted the drain trays under the tanks. Refurbishment of the No.4 Elevon continued, and a bit of tidying up in one of the storage areas completed the day.
