Massed Lightning takeoff
Gents,
I'm trying to educate some of my younger colleagues that to go vertical in a hurry one does not require a F15/16. Indeed i seem to remember a black and white film clip showing about a dozen RAF Lightnings departing vertically many moons ago.
Young chaps at work are sceptical to say the least, not believing that such 'technology existed back then' to achieve said result. I have tried You tube but just get lots of clips of Dave and P-38.
Would love a link or other to show that yes, you don't need to rely on American equipment to achieve vertical acceleration and the technology did exist 'back then'
Your help would be most appreciated.
