hi everyone unfortunately 458 does not take part in any airshows these days but she is very much alive and in a very good condition of maintenence apart from the usual common lightning fuel leaks she is started up every 6weeks for a stactic engine run with full reheat unfortunately these days owning to limited amount of avpin we alternate engine starts to conserve this rare starter fuel.
but we still intend to have a full program of high speed runs this summer which usually is up to a maximum of ten.
if any body knows of a sorce of avpin i would be extremely greatful and appreciative for any known sorces of avpin
i know a lot of you lightning freaks would like to visit 458 and it is possible to do so for a small fee to go towards the conservation of 458 which we would greatfully appreciate for as we are a very small group with just four of us, if you are interested in a visit which would be on a saturday please email me for info on tour or photo opportunity with 92sqn on port and this 111sqn on starboard this would make a ideal day rmc
