RAFEngO74to09 I thought this might bring back memories for some WIWOLs - radio traffic prior to and after the crash of Lightning F6 XR769 as a result of an engine fire off Spurn Point on 11 Apr 88 - probably the last abandonment prior to withdrawal from service.
Yup, was the last RAF in-service loss, and the last ejection from a Lightning.
Ian Black published the photo's in one of his Lightning books of the a/c on fire etc., as he was DC's No.2 that day.
There's a transcript of the R/T and further details on the LA website here.
