Once got recalled shortly after airborne in a Mk 6 Lightning (big ventral tank - more fuel). Burners against gear, flaps and airbrakes and I was on the ground after 12 minutes with minimum fuel.

Flew Hunter Mk 9 for 6 months on TWU and it was the dog's bollox. Still undecided on which was the best, Lightning or Hunter.
