XR770

Location : Lincolnshire

Hi,

Lightning XR770, 5 sqns new gate guard was out in the open today and was seen from the A15 near to the flying club area. It looked virtually complete and was stood on its undercarrige.

Cleaned up or still slightly green and grubby looking?

It didn't look too clean from what i saw but i was a fair way from it Laughing

It was nice to see it all in one piece though. I think the centerline fuel tank may have been missing from it.

I havent heard from tg13 about whats going on, it all went very quiet after the recruitment campaign a while ago. I never recieved a response on that, did anyone else?

Is this anywhere near XM607? Is it visible from WAVE?

I had no problem in walking out of the WAVE entrance. Turning right and walk across the A15 and then walking up the incline along the fence.

Once I was able to see XR770 I was able to take a few shots. However I would advise taking pics of XR770 late in the afternoon when the sun is over Waddo village as it will "light-up" XR770.
