An Olympus running all be it not installed in an aircraft.
(Thanks for the link CJ)

WOW, Mackrick, WOW!

So, this is the Industrial Olympus used to
generate electricity -- a test run following
overhaul....

Too bad CAA won't allow a similar thing for
558's engines...

Don't you all agree, the Olympus looks more 'at home' nestled in the wing root of a Vulcan rather than hanging in some sort of S&M framework?? (Not that I know ANYTHING about S&M before you lot start).

That's alright, Nick, we generally go to
RLN for THAT sort of information.....

HH I'm sure it say 903 its just the angle makes it look like an 8

by **Saracenman** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:03 pm

yeah, i agree - XA809 was a Javelin FAW2, d/d 26/07/1957, s.o.c. 02/05/1961as CAT 5C at Odiham and scrapped

If you look at this photo the number is correct

Not sure if its just a shadow that makes the 9 look like an 8.
