Just shows what can be done 8000 miles away from the Campaign Against Aviation. Well done the Afrikaaners!

Campaign against Aviation???

More like Campaign against Living.

Start living today, run over someone who works in health and safety.

Hi, just to out the record straight, 773 and 693 retired back in Dec 1992 when they flew to Exeter.
451 had been out of the skys for many years prior to flying again in S Africa and 452 last flew when she was delivered to Cranfield in June 1988.

So its been many a year since a sight like this was last seen, I think the last time 3 lightnings flew together was December 1992 when Warton put up 904, 693 and 773 for some final photo shoots.

Great stuff, keep it up Mike and all your team
