Thanks Coff! Not me in the picture but I did my first single seat Lightning flight in November 1970 in XM180 aged 21! But only just as I turned 22 a couple of days later! Declared Oerational six months later on my first Squadron in Germany!
As for the rest, that is history. Suffice to say not many went on to be a Gp Capt by the time they were 40!!!!!!
