@bluebirdk7 My uncle went to bute and saw the first run, they left coniston this morning after only a day saying it can't be matched.
It's a great shame. The current team might get there bit she will never run again after Sunday.
@bluebirdk7@dmooreandco@FirebladeRR6 It sounds from conversations I heard that a lot of the original instrumentation has been removed to get her to run with the current engine and different start systems etc
@bluebirdk7@dmooreandco@FirebladeRR6 It's clear to see they are learning as they go. They are getting there slowly which is nice to see, however....
It felt like get her running at any cost whether it's historically accurate or not.
@sheppane@bluebirdk7 Beautifully made 🙂. It's a marvel that the dogs egg that was left at the bottom of the lake has been reworked, but the new parts were done so well to integrate into the original
@bluebirdk7 I would say come try xm603 at Woodford but I believe 2 engines went to xm 655 to enable taxi runs.
I grew up right next to Woodford avro, and that howl is a childhood memory
@Vulcan01@bluebirdk7 I would give them everything in its place, hopefully means there is less for RM to lose. At least then at some point in the future it could be picked up again, by some people in the know...
@SuperfastScots@bluebirdk7 I didn't go to bute thinking it was just proving trials and there would be plenty more opportunities to see her under power. I'm sure there are many others that now have that regret
@bluebirdk7 Sad thing is I bet rm will not even mention BBP in the history of k7 when she is in the museum. It will be like the immaculate conception where she just arrived. So sad for the team, such a large chunk of people's lives to get here and nobody at rm cares.
@ROBANDTHEMOB@bluebirdk7 People thought this with donations first time round. Even just buying a hoodie here or there helping out BBP, just for rm to claim it as their own. They would probably try and claim a new build as theirs as it would be funded the same way as K7 🤣🤣🤣. I.e. not by them
