[fantaman]

Afternoon all,

Was just wondering if anyone on the forum could put me in touch with Flt Lt Mike Hale, an ex-Lightning and F3 pilot. Its reference his time on the Lightning fleet, please PM me for details :ok:

Many thanks in advance.

Haha, I hope so! I need as many as possible and Flt Lt Hale (if he is still a Flt Lt or even in the RAF) is just the man :ok:

Are you ex-Lightning Mr Kebab?

I do remember his hair going a funny shade of orange once while he was QFI-ing at CWL. Much wearing of the SD hat as low as humanly possible ensued over the next couple of weeks....

I'm sure I saw him at High Wycombe about 18 months ago....

My fave story has to be the Mach 2 loop, peaking over 100,000' at the top.......:hmm:
Bloody nice bloke !

It was not 100,000 ft plus it was only 84,000 ft - bit of an off set/recovery loop when the 'Oh, my god' moment :ooh: arrived going through the vertical on the way up.

Plenty of Ex Lighting chaps claim to have gone higher (Both much older and much younger than I) - they must still be around out there :cool:.
