Hi all.
XM 655 is in a remarkable condition considering she is outside in all weathers.We have been monitoring the corrosion on the spine panels for a couple of years now and our chief airframe engineer Fred decided to remove one for inspection.

Now you can see why we haven't updated you about the RR/elf'n'safety problem. We have been working full time to organise the visit to Woodford.

With the XM603 Spares project finished, we will now go back to sorting out the (probably non-existent) corrosion problem.
