“Not to be out done, the Nimrod had its first engine runs for 3 1/2 years”
I’m sure I saw this fly at Legends last year, or does “engine runs” mean something different, such as calibration?
The Nimrod you saw last year was the Historic Aircraft Collections Nimrod Mk II, the TFC’s is a Nimrod Mk I.

TFCs chief pilot is to do the test flight so im told.
TFC also has a pilot from ETPS

Wonder who will do the first flight on the Gladiator. It might make sense to get one of the Shuttleworth pilots with type experience. The pool of Shuttleworth pilots used to include a fair proportion of ETPS graduates, so this would be bread-and-butter to one of them.

welleres a quote from another forum along with soem images not of mine but off of another forum nd tfc website
if i have broken copyright do remove the images
Today saw our Gloster Gladiator take big step towards its 1st flight, with engine runs. But a few niggles from the Bristol Mercury stopped play.
She did look good on the line, after being closed in the hangar for so long.
Also the XVIII has been undergoing its engine runs.
And not to be outdone, the Nimrod had engine runs for the 1st time in about 3 1/2 years.
AGAIN THESE ARNT MY IMAGES AND THEY ARE A QUOTE FROM A POST ON THE UKAR FORUM
Anyways its looking good so far, cant wait
