I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Lightning XM192
For those that care, Lightning XM192 is being set up at the Tattershall museum - Thorpe Camp - near Coningsby. Bit sad at the moment without wings or fin but the fuselage looks in very good nick for a 40 years plus airframe.
I think the camp is also home to the RAF escaping society.
Last time I was there I was amazed at the model of the underground V2 factory. I saw the film and thought it was science fiction

Yellow sun & all other colours
Greetings to you all
Perhaps we should form an "explosive" splinter group
Then we could grapple with the problems

Re: Lightning XM192

Re: Lightning XM192
Speaking of Lightnings, does anyone know te intended fate of the aircraft that has spent a number of years on a plinth outside a factory on the South Gyle industrial estate in west Edinburgh?
Over the past few months the factory has been demolished, leaving the now very forlorn looking aircraft still sitting there: I hope not overlooked by the owners/ex owners of the site or preservation interests. I'd hate it to suffer the same fate as the aircraft that sat aongside the A1 at Balderton near Newark for years (and maybe still does) in a very undigfnified state.

You could always try these colour variations although Orange Harvest seemed a bit modern for a Frightning.

East Fortune are fortunate in having one of the few remaining complete examples of an F.2A.
