BAC Lightning F6 flies again in Suffolk

I know it sounds a bit of a cheeky title, but it was true only an RC plane!

Even though the weather was piddling I managed to visit Rougham airfield for the LMA show today & saw this rather large beauty flying.
I’m sure the announcer said it was 1/3rd scale and that it was flying for the first time at this show.

I couldn’t find any further details about this RC jet but it was big & very quick or should I say speed was equal to the scale.
