[MRCG] MRCG Annual Meet 2017 - Call for Volunteers

[Jim Falls]

It was a big wiring harness job. Everything was temporary. Collings doesn't want anything permanent in their aircraft. 

Everything you see in 909 is empty. They use the shells to carry parts and tools...... probably good. The Public (especially 8 to 10 year old Public) can be brutal on gear (yank! twist!)

Radio ops position in Witchcraft is relatively intact. Crew only allowed in there, but then again, none are serious ops. It worked 7 years ago, but has had zero maintenance. They consider it mostly window dressing (depends on the flight crew), some crew are genuinely interested, though. 

Cheers!
