If it is the Vickers Jockey piloted by the Elm Street slasher, Open House...

here are two Lightning Mates on the job
I was hoping someone would ask where the other Lightning is.

The Bear, what a majestic, captivating aeroplane, eh David?!

Graeme has declared open house chaps! It is indeed the Vickers Jockey, in a Spanish Civil War 'what if'
