XM655

[Mayfly]

thought I would post a few images taken this year of 655 at Wellesbourne

[Mayfly]

errrrrrrrrrrrr some how I clicked twice so posted twice - can I delete a thread?

[Wedgy]

As the original poster, you can delete the other thread, there should be an "X" above your original post on the right hand side when you view it

[Mayfly]

aha that wasn't there earlier was it? thanks gone now

[Saracenman]

it's amazing how those MAPS chaps keep her looking so good - long may it continue

[Mackrick]

mmm now I have photos of 655 somewhere....
really must get round to sorting out the photo collection...

She is in excellent condition despite being outside for 20-25years.

DT has taxied her every year since 1995 & has immense respect for MaPS. There are no pollitics involved the only thing that matters is making sure 655 is servicable for her run days...... & the ground crew make excellent company in the evenings

It was a really lovely day at Wellesbourne - DT knows how to please the crowds!!!

Cruised down the runway, paused with 655 facing the crowd line at intervals so pics could be taken, then turned her back on us so we could take shots of her form other angles too. Amazing!

And when we were blasted - WOW!!! Cameron still talks about it AND Savannah remembers it and are both looking forward to next time. Our pics were taken the old fashioned way so can't post any - sorry.

She looks stunning despite her many years in the elements. MaPS cannot be praised enough. Lovely pics Pam, thanks for posting those

Didn't DT 'accidently' do a taxi run last year where he lifted the nose wheel off the ground?

[RLN]

I can't believe he'd do that. Must have been somebody else.

hmmmmmm an accidental taxi run - now that would be hard to explain

but I know what you mean, theres no reasn why they can't lift the nose on 655 - but whether he can or not does depend lot on wind strength & direction because of Wellesbournes short runway

I wonder if DT will have a memory lapse next time he does a taxi run in 655 thinking he's in 558
