Last weekend saw the BPAG back at Manston. Small numbers again due to Covid restrictions but still had a very successful couple of days. Fuel lines, drain lines and wiring inside D22 stripped out and door itself removed. Stn 4 missile well also stripped out to give access to structural connections and various hydraulic lines.

Components cleared from above Stns 4 & 6 to facilitate access and removal of leading edge BLC ducts and emergency nitrogen bottle removed. Rear cockpit upper instrument panel also removed and both intakes cleared of debris. Finally, structure removed inside doors 75 (left & right) that join across the wing & fuselage.
