Paging the Vulcanisti

Back in 1981 I was working at BAE Woodford on the AEW Nimrod.

For reasons too complicated to got into here, I was one of only two people
with the security clearance to take a camera air-side.

The evening before the Woodford Airshow a Vulcan flew in, ready for the next
day.

It was an opportunity too good to miss and I just found the results at the
back of a cupboard....

For those keeping tabs on XH558, there was a fast taxi run on Friday
(videos on the TVOC site) and expected first flight sometime this week,
weather permitting.

The problem is that they're running out of a particular o-ring because
of the insistence that they pull the MCD's after every engine run. One
of the RR Heritage Trust guys we know was on the scrounge last week.
Hopefully we sorted him out, but you've just reminded me to check on
Monday. I fail to see why they couldn't inspect the o-rings and re-fit
them.

 

If they insist on doing it every time, that qualifies as a Major Compulsive
Disorder.

 

Magnetic Chip Detectors. They're located on several different parts of
the oil system to diagnose bearing failures. I often get samples to
analyse for bearing alloys.

 

I wouldn't disagree.
