XS904 and XR728 updates

Hi all, just a line to keep you all up to date on the going’s on with our two lightnings and the QRA hanger;
We gave 728 an antidet run last Saturday 3/9/05, both engines were run separately to 85% power with no snags at all, the No2 starter snag we had on the July open day now fixed which we found to be a HT box problem.
As 904 was given a good shake down on the 28th Aug we wont be running her again untill around late Sept.

The QRA hanger is coming on well, with all the main steel structure completed, we have just put an order in for £1000 worth of new steel work to finish off the smaller sections that are missing.
This week we have plant on site opening the entrance drive way up, once this is done we will then start chasing up the 30 or so lorry loads of hardcore material we need to bring the base up to the correct height best pprice so far is £150 a lorry load, then its the expensive bit ! The concrete floor.

Will keep posting updates as and when
