I know that it can be started from a 2 or more power sources, and i know which button to press to set the ball rolling. its just the preparation proceeddures im unsure of.

How would one go about running the rover on a vulcan?

Wish I could say the same for her belly XD
Its currently taking on a look of the black buck kind of colour scheme (Grey primer)

Just out of curoisity does anyone know where i could find any video footage of XM575 in flight? I’d like to see true evidence that she was once a living, breathing war machine.

As big of a bummer as it was the vulcan not flying this weekend, we can still be satisfied in the knowledge that the reason for her not appearing was due to the lack of a little stamp on a peice of paper, not anything mechanical or structural. Theres always the next one. (the next one being whichever show is after such a time she is re-certified to fly)

XL569 are you meaning 558 yesterday? if so it was one of the AFUs which failed during start up checks, nothing to do with the engines…

Oh. Yeah i did mean 558. The AFU is the artificial feedback on the controls right? stiffens the controls accordingl to the imput of the pilot or something along those lines.

Quick update on the resotoration, we’ve finally started the underside of the wings and things are progressing well. Hopefully in the next few weeks they’ll be painted up putting it one step closer to the finishing point.

It wouldnt surprise me if it was just a little dust in the bottom of the intake. We all know how health and safety is nowadays. Fingers crossed to see her at cosford tomorrow 🙂
