In this video of the QRA run, you see the victor doing a run down the runway. Shortly after brakes off and as she carries on down the runway. there is something boiling off spraying out just aft of the port intake mounted forward of the vertical stab. Is it water being blown out or is something venting? you can clearly see it happens 4 or 5 times and leaves a wet mark down the side of the fuselage…??

sorry, I couldn’t resist! 😀 on a serious note it’s good to see her in fine fettle and singing the Conway song.

I noticed, but thought I’d suggest you check the drain anyway.
Perhaps the outlet is blocked with pink paint…? :diablo:
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that hurt……………:eek:

Looks like water out of the RATs. Perhaps the drains could do with checking?
S’wat I said in post 2:diablo:

Wasn’t sure if I got your good side or not but the camera didn’t break so I assume I did! Nice to hear that O2 are still playing up as well.
Bitch:p:p:D

Ok next question Denis, what was the delay between the first run and the second, seemed to be sitting there for a very long time idling, did Bob just want to go and get his camera for the snap of it next to the Lightning?
I wasn’t there for first run, problem with my disabled missus’ telephone contact… both Land line and O2 mobile were down.. had to go home to sort, but I believe that they shut down the main engines after the first run but kept the Artuste running for Photo Shoot..so we didn’t have to drag the GPU down from the other end of the airfield for second start… thats when I returned……. thats me on the lance;)

I think that is water settled in the bottom of the RAT scoops being ejected, I will check with Terry the Crewchief
