558 staying over at Hurn

Postby Sooty655 » Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:02 pm

From the Twitter feed a couple of minutes ago:-

No flight today (23rd). Departure from Hurn likely to be at the weekend now.

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

Does this affect her scheduled programme?

I understand it's down to crew availability or lack of, shouldn't interfere as long as there no servicing is required that needs to be done at Brize - I would think they'll just take off form Hurn next week end and continue with their schedule

I read this on another forum (the unfriendly one ;) ) earlier today, I think it was Oberon posted it. Looks like a sunday departure could be on the cards..............What a damn shame that is :D \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

I drove past the airfield this afternoon just to see where they'd left her. She's just to the left side of the Cobham hangars looking rather lonely and exposed to the elements.

You could see her from the eastern end of the runway and the viewing enclosure on friday as they had her out fro the Cobham families day. Today you can only see her from the museum and the western end :)
