OK, how do you categorise the NOSE WHEEL OFF THE GROUND? That is not part of a TAXIING manoeuver!



Testing of the nosewheel undercarriage OLEO (or has they are now called Liquid Spring). ;)

I should be there.

No matter what the weather is like when I leave home, I'm expecting the temperature to drop at least 10c once you get through the gates. I don't think I've ever been there without a coat, no matter what time of year! :D

I take it the Nimrod paperwork issues are sorted now?

Ah yes, the Bruntingthorpe weather anomaly :D

As I understand it, the Nimrod will be running this time. That's what I've heard anyway, don't know if it's true or not
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!
