Still sad that aircraft that make my pulse race just hearing and seeing them have to go overseas. Ther's nothing quite like a lightning display, speed, "burners" and thunder, what an apt name "lightning" is for it. And the Bucc just owned the "down in the weeds" territory. Great examples of the UK's cutting edge technology for the time - probably way ahead of their time. Had a trip in the lightning tub and it was "as advertised". Got back in my machine afterwards and it was like getting in a car with not enough gears - still loved it though. Not saying what it was, not because not proud, but because spies will identify me - recently had a problem with that and Mowgli may have to be renamed.
