What sort of airspeed would they be flying at in that shot Tonks? Also, any idea what the tape is for on the A400? Not holding it together surely.

The tape is all to do with the instrumentation system that is installed in the test ac... it is covered with sensors as part of the Flight Test Instillation.

Soz, not gonna go into flight details yet but she is an impressive girl for her size!

Sorry! I should have known better, having signed the Official Secrets Act myself.

Was it Albert Steptoe who used to say " I like beefy birds"?
