is this one of team vipers? if so any idea what caused the problem? could it have been the long delay they had on the ground on either thursday or friday where by they started to taxi out then were told to hold as the thunderbirds were still flying making them wait a good 20 minutes. it was a hot day so couldn't have done the engine's much good unless they don't overheat like that???

Towed out of hangar 5 this afternoon.

John, have they checked the fuse in the plug ?

Should be a 13 amp one for a Hunter.

Is 601 still at Waddington or is she sorted?

[Mayfly]

Thanks John, must be a pain for them.

Would be interested to know what the plan is now, presumably they are waiting for something as its covered and I dont think its been touched for at least a fortnight. Its like an air museum driving down the A15 with a Vulcan, Lightning and now a Hunter.

[f-4]

Dead engine I was told.

That Hunter is a tough old oh fudge. Hope to catch her return to the air if all goes well.

[Flyingmonster]

Any more news John?

[Flyingmonster]

Cheers John!

[Mayfly]

Oh dear not having a lot of luck it her are they!!

Hope they have a lucky break on this soon, and that the brakes and engine are now OK.
