Dutch B-25 at East Kirkby

I heard this clattering northwards at 11.15 yesterday over Thurleigh area en route Dunsfold to East Kirkby. Is it staying at East Kirkby or likely to appear elsewhere ?

Was the issue that the undercarriage wouldn’t come up? I heard them saying it had definitely locked down, I assume they were just unable to raise it?

Minor issue with main gear door sequencing, fixed locally and airtested the same day. And that enabled it to clatter on towards East Kirkby 😉

She’s down to display at Shoreham this weekend, fingers crossed as i was really looking forward to seeing her display on Sunday at Dunsfold.

It nearly clattered on Sunday at Dunsfold. I didn’t hear the commentary as it did its short circuit of the airfield.

Was the issue that the undercarriage wouldn’t come up? I heard them saying it had definitely locked down, I assume they were just unable to raise it?
I also assume that any glitches with it have now been rectified?

Thanks,

Rich
