I finally got round to joining 655MaPS

Thanks to Charles (ramshornvortex) and Eric (Sooty655) I had a great couple of hours at a very chilly Wellesbourne Mountford airfield yesterday. None of your centrally heated hangars for these guys. ;)

XM655 provides the only shelter.

The guys at work on No #3 engine. It's a good job Eric is such an expert on Olympus engines :ymapplause:

While the guys froze outside I managed to get marginally warmer upstairs..

I knew you'd bottle it. Don't worry, it only hurts when you laugh afterwards. Just remember, when leaving her presence, always keep facing her as you would The Queen. (But it isn't for the same reason ;) ) :))

Just throw a biscuit over her shoulder and run. By the time she's found the biscuit you should have made your escape ;)
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!
