I am used to fitting trials cameras on Harriers & Hawks, never realised the relatively huge size of the Lightning, though I heard plenty about it from Test Pilots & Ground Crew.
I'm now up close to one most days at Tangmere Museum, west Sussex; the aircraft is in good 'nick, though being restored & maintained.
We have a Lightning option on our ' simulators ' but it's not yet ready with a timer & local scenery for joe public.
Any ex-Lightning people who fancy re-living old times should make themselves known to Dudley or Andy - if coming far PM me.
The overall impression I got was that the instruments are diabolical !
