Sorry. I've been having a lot of "Database Error" and "Cannot find server". I didn't think that would get through?!

Hey David, what's the story behind the photo of the Lightning nearly getting nuked on the previous page?

Martin I was actually "thinging" of the Lockheed AL 60...but no....

Shame.

I'm still working through my cardboard box David. The beauty of Aussie casks mate is that they come with rump steak and vegies...see...

If you mean page 650, it's a high altitude Redtop missile shot against a drone.

It's farther away than it looks - probably about a mile or a little less. Both the shooter and the camera chase went a little closer than normal to get both the blast and the shooter in the same frame..Seemples.

BTW, both Lightnings were supersonic at the time.

OK.. clue time.

It was a one-off, the third in a series by the designer. For a while it was leased by a reasonably well known airline. There are photos on the net of it but my SC was scanned.
