The ex flagship of 5 Squadron as flown by Wg Cdr Andy Williams, towards the end would naturally make a fine choice, I'm not sure what the status of the ex BAe a/c at my old local is.

Valiant one, This F6?? that was donated by 5 Sqn to the people of Grimsby is now at the Nato museum that has moved from Grimsby down to Grainaby I think??
They had 3 Lightnings the last time I looked on their site.
Can't understand why CAA won't give an AOC on the 'Light' and the 'Vulc' has one.
Would say the 'Vulc' is a just as complexed airframe.
Plenty of 'Light' Cockpits around, But not many for sale, only see 2 in the last 8 months or so.
A SYAM member purchased an F6 about 4 years ago, It lives at Doncaster with 2 others.
I felt 'sick' when I heard how much he paid for it = 2,000 for a full airframe, minus engines
Even without engines would have thought it been more???
