Postby Crew chief » Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:56 pm

Hi all.

I would like to thank all of the MaPS team for their effort's over what was a very stressful week end.It was touch and go if we taxied 655 at all but the hole team took a vote and we decided to do two slow low power runs.I would also like to thank my see off crew who are sooty655,Ramshornvortex,Bovril for a job well done.

its allways a pleasure and a honor to do it :D

a big thanks to Ramshornvortex and sooty655 for their work on the risk assessment and for sooty signing it off..

sooty is probably the most excellent engineer i know, if its broke he can fix it and if he cant it and worth trying.

CC, thanks for putting up with my shocking parking :D

'Robbing Peter to pay Paul' springs to mind here ;). That said - it's good to know that other surviving Vulcan airframes can 'help' in times of need.

Maybe they loaned it on a temp basis.... until a replacement is found/made :)

Thanks to 655 for the donation.
