Hi John, yes got her going at last, with D Reg driving it. Awesome day! A few small issues to sort out, alas seems we will have time to do it as nothing is happening until the virus war is over.

The first run we did. D Reg had done a slam check . This was suposed to be a slow speed brakes and NWS test then a gentle jog down the runway. Then D Reg just went for it. 125 Knots peak speed (143 MPH!)
