Picking up newt's "challenge" ...
What about "Who was the best Lightning pilot?" or " What's the fastest you have ever been in a Lightning?"
I can't comment on the "best" or "fastest" but I knew Pete Stone a long time ago ... where legend has it that he, in the late 70's early 80's, took a T Bird Lightning super sonic, at below mast height, past a Rusian Trawler "Earwigging" down in the Med ... which, after the event, he regarded as a legitimate enemy intercept. Must have been interesting for the Trawler crew !
Best regards ...
