Our Saturday started with more fuel leak chasing before our first booked visit of the day (of which there were 3!)
Attention was first given to the port side where a sneaky leak had developed… an ingenious solution was adopted of a funnel under the leak, with hose leading to a bucker.. Of course, this gave chance for a bit of “lace tieing”!
One of our volunteers eventually made it above the number 2 tanks to check connections as erroneous readings were being noted… but we had to curtail this due to a visit.
Meanwhile, gaskets were being prepared for the starboard terminal block for the capacitance belts.
Elsewhere, the Sentinel maintenance continued which eventually gave us chance to give her a run on the taxiway.
Our other group visits were treated to systems demos which gave us chance to exercise the aircraft’s control surfaces, bomb doors and lighting.
all in all a productive (and sunny!) day!!
