Top vid Paul. Glad that someone was able to get the moment today. Also heard that they did some practice over Kemble to get their eye in ready for the weekend if the Permit is signed off. Really hope they make it now.

The bucket is used to collect the fuel from the collector tanks on each engine.... better than letting it drip over the concrete and upsetting people...
