A fairly busy Saturday saw us fault finding and testing..
Fuse checks were carried out and also a voltage regulator that had been removed from the aircraft was given the once over to look for any problems. Some unexpected readings compared to others in stock seems to point to a failure.
One of the airbrake motors was stripped and then tested (outside of the aircraft) but didn’t want to play. Further testing on another unit however was successful.
We were also able to give the Coleman a run and check and top up hydraulic levels.
A large group visit by the Classic Corvette Club also took place with the visitors being shown around the aircraft, talks on various parts of Vulcan history and about our own 655. They were also treated to a systems demo before the visit concluded with the vehicles being parked with XM655 for photos.
