OK, talking of Lightning weapons fits, outside the old S of FC at West Drayton was a Mk 2A Lightning with 6 (yes, 6) 30mm ADENs
. Now, I know this was a
theoretical fit (for the uninitiated, 2 in the upper intake lip [as in all Mk1/2s], 2 instead of the Firestreak packs and 2 in the front end of the ‘Mk 6’ bellytank) but was it ever an Operational configuration? And was it ever test fired? If so, what happened to the Target?!
Should’ve been pretty well 'sprinkled'
- any trials or APC video of such an event?
