After a lot of sweat and tears, over the past few weeks, XX894 has finally performed its first public taxi run since 2019! We everyone enjoyed the event and we hope to see everyone back again soon.

Not a lot to add from the weekend just gone due to weather preventing the team from finishing off the priming stage of XW544. Those who were on site removed the remaining masking tape and began flatting the primer off and smoothing any rough areas where the overspray had dried.

This weekend saw TBAG have a small presence at Cotswold Airport's very busy and popular Vintage Fly-In with a shop and our cockpit XW550 on display! It was hoped we could perform a taxi run but unfortunately, this wasn't possible due to a number of factors.

Last Wednesday, Cotswold Airport saw a visit from the Gnat Display Team who flew in Gnat G-MOUR as part of a reunion for former Gnat air and ground crews. TBAG played a supporting role in providing our low pressure air start equipment to start up the Gnat ready for its departure

XW544 currently looking like a 1:1 scale Airfix kit in bare plastic, but looking rather fresh nonetheless in its primer coat! Soon time to add some colour so long as the weather remains kind to us - fingers crossed!

Some of the team were busy this weekend attending the Abingdon Air & Country Show, and some of the team back at Cotswold Airport were making the most of the weather once again, this time adding some colour back to XW544!
