Greetings All,

We at ‘Lakes Lightnings’ have ladders for F1/F1a variant, F3/F6/F53 variant and TBird variant.

We’ve already offered folks to ‘BORROW’ them to make up templates or to just have photos and measurements.

The logistics of moving these large items to and from is there.

We are keen to help out anyones Lightning project but, YOU have to do the leg work … not us….. as some have intimated previously! 🙁

Each variant of ladders has different hooks which fit into the fuse recesses. They are not standard across the fleet!

Glad to help ….. Neil & Heather, ‘Lakes Lightnings’

Hello Neil, thanks very much for the offer. Were ok now though, manufacturing from stratch.

Ladder

Have you tried RAF Coningsby, they have a ladder on one of thier Lightnings I’m sure they would let you copy it.
