My references show RAF Coltishall 1970 or it could also have been at RAF Middleton St George. Hi all! Good looking build with a very smart finish! Did you polish it or is that the natural paint finish? I’m at the start of my T4 journey and there are definitely a few issues, but bear in mind the short-run nature, order some filler, some spare files and an extra dose of patience and it should turn out nicely. Good photos too! For reference, 226 OCU only spent 10 months at RAF Middleton St George, from June ‘63 to April ‘64, where it was equipped solely with the T4 version. Only after moving to Colishall, it gained some T5s. Some great memories from the guy who flew both versions at both locations here: https://www.xs420.com/lightning-memories-ken-bailey.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
