Got some good news for everyone the CAA have agreed a plan to let a Lightning F6 Fly once again in the UK.
The Lightning will be based in Norway and will fly into the UK for airshows and flypasts etc.
The CAA are happy with this because the Lightning wont land in the UK so they wont take any responsibility and if anything goes wrong Norway takes the blame.
Norway’s CAA are happy to allow this and have no problem with these jets flying under their authority.

I heard it was going to be F2A XN728 the one at Balderton next to the A1 rather than an F6 😀
