A fabulous aircraft -

Cape Town 2008
RP-E tells me it's the finest aircraft ever built.

I'm envious.
I was due to have a flight at the end of the 1983 display season with Mike Thompson, then the RAF's Lightning display pilot - and probably the best in my (amateur) opinion.
Tragically, Mike didn't make it the end of the season.
