XV582 Black Mike
XV582 Black Mike
Recently spent a week working on wing removal and strip down of Black Mike prior to its move to RAF Cosford. Transportation is to be carried out using two low loaders and two large curtain siders probably on 23rd or 24th October. When I find out precise dates and route I will post info here. I believe TV cameras will be present when she leaves Leuchars so lets give her a good send off.

You would think they would have offered photograph opportunities before they dismantled it
Re: XV582 Black Mike
Given that they had a large exercise before hand I suspect thats the last thing the Army had the time for organising.
Remember BM is still in the 111 HAS site by the river from memory and I doubt that The guys who went up to dismantle it, actually had time to spare either.

Black Mike will be leaving Leuchars at 09:00, 25th October, via crash gate 9 (Guardbridge end). I expect press and TV to be in attendance lets give him/her a good send off after 48 years at Leuchars.
