Limited participation for WK640 in today's Open Cockpit day at YAM; a lot of people were asking about her today, so I hastily got one of her panels out to form her own "mini display".

Spotted this today; it's nearly 640's birthday!

One of those days where jobs have snowballed. An innocent little reshuffle of our storage container meant there was no longer room for 640's canopy to be stored in there safely. Also, outside storage was doing her no favours, especially as her tarp covers have been reduced to shreds over winter. John is itching to start mending her, so we thought we may as well fetch her (and her lid) indoors!
She's certainly something different to show, with a story to tell. Visitors today liked her!
