Wiki is not far off in quoting radar range - the range scale went further but a 30-mile pick-up was quite exceptional and had to be a large radar signature target.

Pontius is quite right - anybody taking a Lightning above 65000feet with a normal RAF safety equipment AEA was on a wing and a prayer in the event of loss of pressurisation.
