Engine test beds
Hi all
During the years 1982 to 1991 I was active on the RAF engine test bed scene serving on the Nimrod Spey 250/251 and Buccaneer Spey 101 bed at Kinloss before moving to RAFG Bruggen and the F4 Spey 202 bed. After the RAF I moved onto the RR RB 199 and Hawk test beds, but it is the F4 test bed at Bruggen that holds my interest. Crazy as it seems to me now, for some reason I neglected to take any photos of this perplexing and abstruse tangle of pipes, leads and monstrous test stand. I am now an Historian and am writing of this period (1987-91) and urgently need photographs of the engine test stand with engine installed and without, the running cell empty and with test stand, and the control cabin. If there is anyone out there who has snaps of the above test bed, would you be prepared to allow me to have copies of what you have? PM me if you wish to communicate.
Thank you
