Great photos from one of my favourite bases.
Always wondered why the T2 is cleared to taxi with canopy open but the T1 isn’t

Hi Pete

Always good to see shots from somewhere I'm not likely to get to anytime soon

Thanks for posting

The T1's canopy supports do not enable it to be taxied with the canopy open plus the canopy seals on the T1 inflate when the engine is started and so the canopy had to be shut when the engine was on, the T2 has a different system and therefor doesn't need to close the canopy so it can Taxi with the canopy up ''Because we can''.

Lovely shots. Look forward to visiting in the Spring

Thank you very much for the explanation Reptile. Makes perfect sense

Lovely set of shots there matey

One of my favourite places to visit.
Great set of shots from the vantage points around the base.

All the best
