Just come across this link of 655 form 1998 - some young looking aircrew & some old faces from the past \:D/

In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.

I hope Crew Chief sees it, it will bring back memories for him I'm sure - they've come along way since then

Nice find MF!

Who's the thin-faced chap who seems to be acting as crew chief right at the start? Spent ages talking to him at Goodwood Revival a few weeks ago. He was dressed as a vintage RAF Officer! Said he was a member of MaPS and knew a bit about engine mag plugs...

Thanks,

Gully

Brilliant :D :D

The guys are looking after her so well - look at the faded paint compared to how she looks now.

Reminds me how scruffy 597 at East Fortune looks - they really need to get a grip and let the APSS lose on her properly.

Hi all.

Thats a blast from the past.That very brief view of me putting the chock in, i seem to have put a bit of weight on since !. :)) XM 655 has come along way since those early days and she is a credit to all who have given up their time over the years to maintain and look after the old girl. :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: .
