XM603 on tv Colin McRae tribute

Just watching a programme which sees Chris Hoy paying tribute to Colin McRae and they have been showing XM603. She looks very forlorn and covered in dirt and algae.

It certainly looks pretty unloved…..

Just glad Ken Block didn’t c o c k up his car control weaving around the undercarriage, as he always seems to do on rally stages….

In the minds of most flyers. Take a risk yourself if you wish, but taking others with you, particularly youngsters, is not even remotely forgiveable.

Graham Hill’s end should have informed McRae

Indeed sadly his exploits on the ground have been blotted out by the circumstances of the helicopter crash in my mind.

Hmmm sorry I cannot see why anyone should wish to do a tribute involving aircraft after what he did.

I thought it was due to be chopped up a couple of years back, and parts analysed as part of an agreement with the CAA to avoid similar structural analysis being performed on XH558?
