Lightnings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


F-32

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I went to the Lightning Preservation Group open day at Bruntingthorpe over the fathers day weekend. In addition to the two live F.6's and the resident (but static) F.3 they also had the F.6 that graced the static display at RAF Cosford the previous weekend.

 

A once in a lifetime opportunity to see 4 x Lightnings in one place!

What a superb line up, really 3 & 2/2s Lightnings the way they've got XR713 painted, Tremblers & Firebirds, is she 713 on the right (Firebirds) side, I wasn't sure if I was seeing 718 or not?

I just love the lighting it's awesome aircraft.  I'm lucky enough to have seen them flying when in service albeit I was a kid, they used to fly a few times a year in formation with V bombers over my school.   Now days I think we get a few Typhoons, C130 or Atlas or C17 I think..............
