Last taxy demo from XS186 for 2015, she's been a good girl this year, 100% serviceability, not bad 50+ years after rolling of the production line, and being left for dead for many years.

Really good to see and hear, and the colour scheme is very impressive too!

Yes, especially considering every bit of work carried out has been done outdoors, hard to imagine her as she was at arrival 11 years ago....

Interesting event coming up in January, keep an eye on 'Our Events' page over the next day or two for our first night-time engine run! Lots of lights and with a JP, noise of course!
