A busy day today at XM655 at Wellesbourne. We had a large group of visitors this morning brought to us by our regular visit organiser Neil Grant, followed this afternoon by a group from the Shropshire Branch of the Royal British Legion Riders, who of course brought their motorcycles along to be photographed with XM655, including a gorgeous trike decorated to commemorate the Falklands Conflict.


With so many cockpit tours, visitor explanations and systems demonstrations to take care of, there wasn’t a lot of time for anything else today, but we did do some more investigation of the Houchin TRU, and had a little fun with a personal life-raft.
