I would love to see some of these aircraft taxi. Do you know when the next open day is?

Hi - XM715 Victor K.2 are the rumors true?

[crumb]

Yes
-- It took off and then struggled to land, Fast jets are going to get chinned by the CAA.

Thanks, maybe we can see some photos one day, it seems to have been caused by a cross wind. Lets hope the "fast taxi's" can continue. I would love to see it.
