Third Preparatory Test Flight Completed
Raytheon Systems Limited at Broughton, England, has just
completed the third of five test flights of a green Bombardier
Global Express -- an unmodified ASTOR aircraft -- from Hawarden
Airfield in North Wales. These flights are being carried out under
RSL's newly achieved Ministry of Defence AvP67 Flight Approval and
are in preparation for the maiden flight of Broughton's first
modified Sentinel RMk1 ASTOR aircraft, ZJ 691, which is anticipated
in July.
