True, but did you spot the not-quite-fully-closed lid on the port ammo bay? I reckon there are loads of them in there and they couldn't shut it properly! :laughing:
:face_with_monocle: Great Spot!

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project

Wiring repair updates are never exciting, they all tend to be a bit 'samey', but I do try to make them worth reading! It may be that with Zebedee and the NF cockpit rig, we have an official YAM 'presence' at Newark this year. Nothing wrong with networking with our friends in the wider museum world!...

Re: A-W Meteor NF.14 WS788 Restoration Project

Such a fantastic and enlightening read Graham.
I will definitely be at the next open cockpit weekend and I hope Keith will be there, is the open cockpit event just annually or multiple times a year?
