    Nice Video XM655 is in very good condtion and makes fast taxi runs from time to time. The team that work on it have done so well you can hardly tell it spent about 10 years without anything being done to it.

    Its next ground runs are going to be used to give the XH558 flight crew a bit of “refresher” training prior to XH558 flying again.

    Here we go again,

    Another day another farce

    In the last 12 months we have had,

    Pear tree’s being fenced up

    A council banning home made cakes and the frying of eggs at outdoor events

    Conckers being removed from trees (at a high cost to taxpayers)

    Police banned from working if there are no pavements

    and so on, now I’m all for anything that can make “high risk” jobs more safe and nobody wants to see people hurt when it can be prevented but do the above mentioned things really cause that many injurys.

    Maybe these silly local council’s could try getting drugs and weapons under control if they really want to make the world a better place.

    It’s a disgrace, spending all that money,time and effort on a nuke when many people in North Korea are starving and many people die every week due to a lack of the most basic health care.

    North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-il seems to care more about Nukes (and any other weapons) than his own people therefore he should be removed, but how and who should do so is not something people are going to agree on very easily.

    Its all very well saying that the Sun over-react when reporting these things but you only need to look around to see and here about these kind of silly things, and if you need anymore proof about what a total farce this health and safety stuff is becoming see the link below.

    That would be a good idea Peter, I have said XH558 should go to Elvington but it seems that it won’t happen.

    I think it might be something to do with the fact that as XM603 is not kept in running condtion anymore spares and support equipment are not needed anymore at Woodford.

    I think they ran up the APU and some systems in August 2004, it has to be said XM575 is in very good condition it could do with a repaint but structurally its fine.
