If you look behind the Disco's you will see a proper 4x4, my old hilux pickup 200,000 miles on the clock and still going strong.

Hilux have always been good (ask Top Gear ).

I once hit a cow quite hard in one on the farm, barely felt it


(divorce would have been better I suppose).

Why did you put a cow in the Hilux just to hit it?

Excellent sound deadening features

[Xplumberlives]

Why, did you scream when the cow hit back?

No, puked very loudly when she patted me on the head

Don't forget 655 has helped out 558 again this summer in various ways and we will be topping up the old girls tanks with 1000 gallons of fuel on Saturday.Also there has been the odd skin repair and some ground work going on ready for our new iso containers.

That should be "Thanks to Bovril".

All I did was fix a few exhaust manifold stud threads, Roger is the one who has been getting filthy working under the tug week after week.

[Xplumberlives]

Good work ALL of you!!!!

[Bovril]

thank you all

[Bovril]

Tug running again.... all appears good... a few pics..

[Mayfly]

Wow look at that exhaust!!

[Xplumberlives]

Will you be polishing the rest of the underside to match the new exhaust?

[Crew chief]

If Bovril has his way YES.
He has done a superb job of getting it made and fitted.

Had a good day at 655 yesterday,it was my first visit since July.

The fuel turned up at about 10am and we loaded only 3,250 litres as the airfields bfi was getting low and we didn't want to leave them short.I did some more refuelling training with Bovril and Richard with them selecting tanks and moving fuel around the aircraft and its also good to exercise the aircrafts fuel pumps aswell.RHV changed the hydraulic charging point valve(thank you vtst for the new valve) as ours had started to weep fluid.
Had a number of visitors who with their donations helped swell the coffers a bit.
