Lots of activity at XM655 today, including testing the canopy gas struts and checking lots of “triple feeder” fuses.

The refurb of the Nav. Radar seat escape assister was finished, the No.4 Elevon is nearing completion and the Squadron crests on the nose wheel doors are being replaced. We also managed to squeeze in quite a lot of cockpit visits, and endured a lengthy Wings and Wheels final planning meeting. And before anyone asks, our nestlings will all have fledged before the 19th.
