EE Lightnings and even early versions of the Harrier GR1/3 did not have a great record. Between 1948 and 2000, the UK Military lost 7,000 aircraft in accidents with the loss of 5,000 crews and passengers, staggering. Meteors in the 1950 were terrible, in 1953 the UK lost 353 Military aircraft in accidents. Did you see the Docu on BBC 4 Last nights Cold War Hot Jets, in two parts part two next Sunday, was a repeat from 2015 but worth a watch.

This is the first crash in over 100,000 hours for testing and bringing into service of a new aircraft. Pilot seems to be fine. I am sure the new lightning II will have a much better safety record than the last one. We often look at the EE Lightning with rose tinted specs but the RAF lost 88 of them almost 1/3 of all aircraft then entered service, basically we sent young men up in Death traps, most of them possibly never made the news.

In the long game UA72202 will be worth a lot more, as like all kits suddenly taken out of production it will now end up in the collectors field. Like I stated before we only imported 96 so no hill of beans, plus cad and mock ups have been around for what seems an age as this model is almost 6 months late. To most it looks like a B52, and most will be happy with their model.
