What a boring weekend! Nothing much going on, until……
It was a total surprise to most of us on the field and I was told that its arrival is always kept quiet to prevent hoards of people turning up! The weather wasn’t too kind to me but I did manage to get a few “walkround” shots for you on the cameraphone
Port wing
Main gear
No4 in reverse
The big fin
The weather did get SLIGHTLY better
It is at MAN to pick up some stage set. Don’t know where it’s going and I only know that it’s going sometime teusday. Guess who is off shift too? 🙁

Russian tyres are often run down to compleaty bald. I noticed that there were at least four bald ones just on the left hand side alone. Any way, the thing is flying to Russia not going by road! 😀

Are some of those tyres bald or is it an optical illusion
