Quite a day today when 92 Squadron ran under her own steam for the first time in 8 years. Following the 6 year rebuild which has seen every component stripped, painted and tested, we were very pleased to find just a few minor problems in this unofficial steam test. With a little more lining to finish and the badges and crests to be mounted, 34081 will enter service at the NVR early next year :

Lovely to see her under her own steam

O/T you didn't used to ride a Ducati did you?

"O/T you didn't used to ride a Ducati did you?"

No not me.

Congratulations to All concerned!

Why did they start her up with bits of the injector missing?

I love the sound of the turbo-generator, reminds me of a Lucas PI pump whining away.

"Why did they start her up with bits of the injector missing?"

It was purely an oversight. The "missing" cap fits on the underside of the injector and its absence had not been noticed.
