    Unfortunately it does give the impression not much is happening with her but once she is open, all will be revealed! 😀

    The gear she currently stands on is temporary and will be replaced with the refurbished ones once they return from the OEM.

    She is sitting nose down – apparently she has a lot of ballast in the nose (in place of the radar) to ensure no disasterous tail-sitting occurs. Without the engines in to add weight over the main gear, you get that nose-down attitude….

    Nice 🙂 You stayed until they put her away …. I dashed off after the speech as I didn’t fancy sitting in a queue to get out or getting stuck in the mud that the field would have become if it had rained again!!! (it was a red sports car and not designed for cross-country work! 😀 )

    Maybe they can have a flypast over the ground when Wolves go back to the Premiership next year…. 🙂 🙂

    Well the turn-out at Bruntingthorpe today was amazing! So many people, I had to park on the grass near on the far side of the Cold War Jets area!

    I have put my photographic efforts in “Airshow Photos” … the thread is here

    as with anything, one man’s 10ft is another man’s 25…. 😀 – I stand corrected!

    since I was looking though a viewfinder, I could only go on others thoughts – either way it was quite a few feet too few for my liking! I too thought it was going to end up as an accident photo….
