XM655 Successful EGR photos

Postby Snapper » Sun Apr 08, 2012 3:57 pm

I've just finished uploading photos from Saturdays successful Engine Ground Run at Wellesbourne.

Click the slideshow button to enjoy the event.

I may find time to add a few more narratives at some stage.

I hope you enjoy viewing.
