English Electric Lightning F mk 6

An interesting one prior to the weekend of mountains, rain and sweaty feet etc.

One of my favourite aircraft.

English Electric Lightning - F Mk6 Cold War Interceptor
The only all-British supersonic aircraft to enter production, and the last all-British single-seat fighter, the English Electric Lightning defended United Kingdom air space for more than twenty-five years. It?s astounding performance and docile handling wowed airshow audiences and won the hearts of all the pilots that flew it. Almost cancelled at one point, it suffered from chronic underdevelopment throughout much of it?s career and this adversely affected it?s export potential.
