• ECU and ECU bay inspections have been carried out, the MOD state has been determined and the missing component required has been ordered.
• Forward fuel tank pump has been wired up correctly and repaired after being found damaged during checks for continuity
• All fuel tanks have been cleaned and hovered again after previous work to ensure no FOD.
• 8 points in various tanks have been resealed/glued where edges and corners have started to lift – most likely due to the change in temperatures recently combined with not having fuel in the tanks.
• Research into MOD state of bolts required for fuel tank lids carried out and AGS ordered.
• Bracket and P-clip required for holding a pipe in port collector tank has been manufactured and fitted.
• Various fuel tank pipes have been reconnected after MOD 0821 has been incorporated.
• Dressing of MRGB has continued – certain extra control arm mounts are required from old gearbox, which is extending the build up time.

• Continue dressing MRGB – focusing on fitting the two new servos
• Test fuel tanks by partially filling tanks with fuel to discover any potential leaks with the drain seals and bottom panels – could not be carried out due to tanks being resealed/glued
