Lightning

Hi Tim,

I never worked with Lightnings, though I remember seeing a couple do the near vertical climb from Leuchars when on holiday as a child ( whether they were QRA or just playing - sorry, exercising - is another matter).

It was only when I began work at Tangmere that I realised what a big brute of a machine it is; next to a Hunter it looks huge, and decidely un- agile !

Any old Lightning hands are welcome to clambour over it.
