Why can't English Electric Lightning's fly in UK airspace
I was wondering why can't English Electric Lightning's fly in UK airspace.
I did read that the CAA will not license any lightning's (reference wikipedia). why ?
Is there a proper reason as to why they can't fly in UK airspace or is the FAA ashamed of 'our' past achievements ?
sorry to sound cynical but we (as a nation) should be proud of our past.

I can't be bothered to read through a thread based on such staggering twaddle.
On a point of order and, frankly, basic third year literacy, there is no apostrophe in "Lightnings". Oh dear.
Is the OP so scrambled he thinks the FAA oversees UK airspace?
Why can't this place reflect it's name, ie "Professional" pilot's forum, not the dopey spotter's forum?
