Dare I mention another engine run date for EP??
Hi Guy's..
We've been asked to do a run on 13th June. The team have been asked for their thoughts and this is as much as I know for now. Should it become a 'goer'.. I'll let you know asap ;-)
To the best of my knowledge, we have 3 engines ready.. no.1 is minus it's starter so won't be joining in the fun :-(

Good to know Dave. Perhaps we could get no.1 going by hand-swinging the prop?

Ah yes.. the worlds only hand swung RR Tyne
So far, two of us have replied with a 'YES' (we're probably the only two who know how to use the 'Reply All' button) so I'll keep ticking the names off as they come in ;-)
BTW.. if someone out there has a supply (not a huge amount by any means) of DTD 585 hydraulic fluid.. please get in touch as we're quite desparate

I have to say that there's nothing I'd like more. We have the perfect collection of aircraft in the public viewing area.. Varsity T1.. Viscount.. Vanguard.. VC10.. One-Eleven and finally.. Concorde. What an absolute joy it would be if at least one engine off each were in running order

Just think of the flavour those barbequed sausages would have cooked to perfecton in Concordes reheat stream
Seriously there is such a diverse collection a few runners would make interesting listening
Shame it can't be :-(
