All very well, but the poster's blocked on my work PC, so I've no idea when it is! Could it be added into the thread title, please?!

Miss out on the hosted photos too...

Bearing in mind the amount of rain we've had and what is to come this week, what are the roads around Brunty like? Are they prone to flooding, and I presume we'll be parked on the grass?

Nicely done, Paul. Shows how close they were to towing the power trolley behind 904. The hot sandblasting when she came back to the shed was nice, too.

Very impressive!

BTW, on the final run, was there something flapping around beneath the jet pipe when 904 returned to the end of the runway?

Yes. You can see it at 34'21"in Cluny's video, and at 4'34" if you put it to HD and full screen the vid. That is where the braking parachute is stored and deployed from.

The bits flapping around are the fabric flaps on the chute cannister. Those two have obviously never done a 2 aircraft 7 minute OTR ;)
