Would be nice to see it in formation with a Tempest II, that will be quite a sight.

Cheers

That is a beautiful piece of work, very well done to the team that have completed what must have been a very difficult task.

Hopefully there will be knowledge gained with this Centaurus that can lead to VR930 having a more reliable powerplant.

Is this Centaurus fitted with the data logging systems that are become more apparent in these much valued aircraft ?

I thought the first flight happened on 1/6/08 😉

Great to see it back in the air again though.
