Return flight

Postby Wizzy » Tue Nov 11, 2008 10:35 am

Guess it might be rather quiet on here today, just those of us unlucky enough to be stuck at work / home, unable to get to Brunty!

Enjoy the day anyone who is going. Looking forward to seeing some photos later.....

looks like No 2 transformer is the problem from what I've read - fairly simple box change I believe

She's going back to Brunty. Was supposed to have been left outside tonight on one of the pans, and back in the hangar tomorrow. Loads of cars and trucks up there. Can't get anywhere near the CWJ because they're packed with cars around them. There are trucks around the Asda plane. As you look at the runway with your back to the CWJ there are cars on the opposite side of the runway. There are cars at the very far end of the runway (apparently it's packed up there) and the drive from the gate to the CWJ is all cars inc in front of 558's hangar, and right round the left of the hangar is full of transporters and cars too.

as you look at the hangar doors with your back to the guardpost the area to left behind the row of trees has always been full of cars as is the front of the hangar most of the time - they are moved as & when required.

Great Video :D :ymapplause:
