seanrgb Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Just found some videos of Todays test flights Test Flight Monday 14th April 2008 Monday, April 14, 2008 - Monday's Test Flight I'm pleased to say that today's flight was another great success for the VOC. Despite a warning light indicating a fire in the AAP, which forced the crew to follow the standard safety procedure of returning to the ground fifteen minutes sooner that scheduled, inspection on the ground showed no evidence of fire or any other damage. Even with the early (very smooth) landing, eighty per cent of tests were completed, meaning we're right on course for a compass swing tomorrow. Well keep you posted as testing progresses. Onward and upward. Dr Robert Pleming VTST CEO Edited April 14, 2008 by seanrgb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Robert Pleming VTST CEO [ Thanks for posting this, was watching the discussion boards go into a frenzy at about 1600 , and I'm glad I didnt hear about the "Fire" until long after they were safe and sound on the deck at cottesmore. Cant wait to see her again, last time was leuchars some time in the 1980's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
