Saturday saw us continuing work fault finding on the normal airbrake motor and its refusal to work in the aircraft despite being tested successfully externally.

Once the tested motor was reinstalled, Terminals, cables and components were checked and tested which points to the fault being within the electrical circuit rather than the motor itself possibly between the power bay and the connection to the contactor. Some of the electrical testing in the bomb bay had to be done whilst precariously perched with the terminals “hidden” behind ducting, making for a rather interesting (and uncomfortable) job!

Another job for the day was replacing the number 2 Alt breaker on the 59P distribution panel in the power bay.

Outside of the aircraft, good progress was made with the continuing preparation and painting of the starboard side and leading edge.

During the day we also had a steady stream of casual visitors to enjoy our aircraft.
