New Sponsor for '558

Postby Gully » Mon Nov 08, 2010 2:50 pm

Popped up on the VTTS website a few days ago: Rochem - http://www.rochem.net/index.php Whether they are actually putting money in or providing products / services hasn't been clarified as far as I'm aware, but good to see anyway :ymapplause: .

Hopefully wash all that nasty seaside salt off the blades in the way flying in the rain used to! :))

We use Rochem's Fyrewash to clean our GTs at work. Very good paint stripper.

Just to clarify Rochem's involvement with the Vulcan To The Sky appeal we have donated monies, Fyrewash and a new wash skid. We feel honoured and proud to be apart of such a worthy cause in keeping an iconic aircraft in the sky were she belongs. We will be posting pictures and videos of our visit in December on our web site http://www.rochem.net

Don't suppose you have the prototype skid lying about anywhere making the place untidy. XM655 would be very happy to clear it away for you. :D

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

Somehow I think Tall Bloke might have something to say about that....
