"Were you aware that "S" was the very last blue-finned Lightning? Happy days!"
Yes - according to Stewart Scott's excellent ref work " Birth of a Legend - "Sierra" was in fact the only F2 to serve all it's days as such without modification to the ungainly F2A version - and it served all it's time on 92 Sqdn. I believe.
Thats why I chose "S" for the painting , not being aware of the actual a/c code involved.
