Mach the Knife Not an AIRPROX in the circuit, or even a break before landing. This photo was most likely taken just after take off when splitting from close formation into battle before the climb. My experience of breaks in the Lightning was "for god's sake don't waste fatigue joining the pattern, max 2G save all the g for combat" Good philosphy on an old shagged out aircraft. However only way to break an F3 was 600kts (and a little bit) 67wg, max G and buffet to 280 without climbing above 1000' and then chuck the wings forward, flaps and gear down and turn final. Happy days, don't spill the G&T now.
You're Ricko surely!!
