Amazing how small the tyres are on the Victor. They look smaller than my car.

Amazing how far they have fallen into disrepair since the Runway was deprived of them all and the Thunder runs ended.

Quite sad. Seems a million years ago I watched them blast off down the runway. Hope the Lightnings found a home.

Still there in the QRA Sheds and still do runs at night for photography but the fence is right up against their pan so it’s a tight squeeze.
