A truly incredible aircraft, even now 55 plus years since it came into service....
Indeed.
Perhaps just as remarkable, is that by the end of this year, the LPG team will have been maintaining/fast taxiing a live Lightning for longer than the aircraft served the RAF in frontline squadron service
Not to mention taking on another one (now two with the static F.3) and rescuing and rebuilding the Wattisham Q shed etc.
Remarkable
