There are a few Lightning drivers around here who would be interested in that part of his career too
A guy in my class of recruits (now a captain with an American airline) claimed to have flown in the rear seat of his uncles Lightning before joining up.
"The rear seat?" , I said. "They (the T's) were side by side!
"We'll this one was one of a few tandem ones"
He even went on to describe (quite convincingly) how they ran up the Irish Sea at Mach 1, skimming the waves and dodging headlands before a flameout and restart and landing at Woodford!
He should have written novels .
I on the other hand, am quite proud of the 1hr 20 mins on the Hawk in my logbook
