I imagine it will require a test flight before it’s departure .

I drove around the airfield but somehow missed it on the engine run bay , which is by the main road I believe?

the engine running bay is the large structure at the southern end of the field ...the old one at the northern end with the mound has returned to being used as a holding or parking place..

I have decided to go early Monday morning and come back for the planned reaper departure so don't know if it is outside today. If the QD did an engine test on Thursday, assuming that went to plan I doubt it will be outside today but happy to be proven wrong.

07:30 no sign of 167982 outside at 07:30 , not been all the way around

I know it is early but thought I would take a chance before the French turn up at Lakenheath

( Just to rub salt into the wound the Indian Herc is still outside!)
