Well what a washout!
Today was just grey wet and ‘orrible, and not a massive amount achieved. In the quest to solve the Artouste electrical problem, Ollie and I had to go ferreting in the bomb bay to check the fuse boxes, a less than easy task as I’m sure those who’ve done it will be able to testify! All were fine, just got a check and clean-up, so after a run of the Artouste, just to check we hadn’t magically cured it and make at least some noise, we’ve come to the conclusion that after the Thunder run (17TH OCTOBER) we’ll have to drop the Artouste and swap the alternator. All other avenues have been explored, so we’re reckoning that’s got to be it sadly. I got to do a bit more lockwiring while in the bomb bay, just a bit of housekeeping on a loose shroud on one of the pipes, nothing exciting.
Thought was given to re-packing one of our chutes for the Thunder day too, we extracted the better one from stores and gave it a dose of looking at but decided we really didn’t have time sadly.
So there you have this week’s instalment. Sven or someone will have to update you next week, as I’m off down to Duxford.
Hope their Victor’s not locked, as I may take screwdrivers…! :diablo:
