Not sure about the Hunters but the Typhoons I can answer, all the flying surfaces on the Typhoon go to a default position (central) on shut down, they are not locked or held in position by anything and can be moved by hand or wind.

On the pan gust locks are not normally fitted between flights so if there is a big gust of wind then you will end up with the rudder moving.

Nash,

Although the site says that it was last updated on the 29th of August this year I think it is the format that has changed and not the information, it has been like that for a good couple of years now.

It certainly looks like they want to make her a ground runner with engines but looking at the web site it does not fill me with confidence, they have what appears to be the bones of three different airframes, the fuselage itself is heavily stripped out.

Going by what has been said on another thread about re-building to running standard this looks like an impossible task (just have a chat to mjr about the Gatwick bird they are re-building).

Are you going to the twilight re-heat run at Brunty Nashio?.

regards,

John.
