“Remember its a Meteor with 600 BHP rather than I think 1650 BHP Merlin in the MK VIII. It doesnt generate anything like as much heat as a Merlin.”

I would think Meteor will prodce just as much heat as a Merlin at low RPM!

After all you will need just as much power to taxi your replica, so therefore i would expect it to heat up just as much!

Just in case Ben manages to get his backside airbourne in it again

first to arrive?

Bod, I’m sure the yellow Harvard got there first!

As there are still a number of Harvards around there must have been more than a few pilots who didn’t manage to destroy their aircraft, as the Blue Max said, it’s not compulsary!

I think you’re about “7” digits too high!

Its being used for pilot and instructor refresher training for the next couple of weeks so it should be up and about Thursday, Friday and next weekend!
