Having just looked at my records I find that the dates for the Lightning job from Binbrook to Shoeburyness were;
Start dismantle at Binbrook on 20 Sep 76 (Dismnantle = cutting off wings, tail plane etc with Husqvana disc cutter), leaving Shoeburynes on 28 Sep 76 after positioning on test rig.
I remember that the fuel tanks were supposed to be drained and vented but when we were cutting through bolts and sparks flew around the wing burst into flames! Just another day at the office.
