A bit of a “double header” this week as we not only had our normal Saturday, but some volunteers went on a field trip to visit XL319 in Sunderland… More on that later…

Another glorious sunrise, mixed weather and a beautiful sunset on Saturday formed the backdrop to our work. With this also being the weekend of Remembrance Day, a flag was hung from the TFR on the nose of XM655 as a mark of respect and thanks.

First weekend of the month meant Ground Equipment runs but also continued work on the jobs from last Saturday. All the equipment (Coleman, Sentinel, Houchin, Palouste and Hydraulic Rig) was run successfully.


Yes – Your XM655 is in the Media again, A staring role in “PORTILLO’S HIDDEN HISTORY OF BRITAIN”. She will appear in the third episode of the second series of this documentary story line. This will be shown on the 16th of November at 9pm on Channel 5.
And for those wanting to rush down and congratulate her on another in a long string of media and film appearances, we will be open as usual on Saturday, looking forward to seeing you then.

A much quieter Saturday than last weekend but lovely skies greeted us rather than cloud and rain…

A decidedly grey and damp start to the days proceedings with the rain and wind providing near constant company throughout the day.

A beautiful sunrise at the airfield this Saturday and a chance for some stunning photos

Normal service was resumed, not only being back to a usual Saturday but also the weather… cold and grey and time to dig out the coats!

A very busy weekend indeed this weekend prepping the pan and XM655 for her Members Day. In fact, some of our volunteers were even there on Friday!
