Two seat Lightning at Olympic Flight Museum

Great photo.

She looks a bit sad doesn’t she? Hopefully her turn will come before she gets too bad.

Olympic Lightning

Currently on display – outdoors, yes, but complete – no.
There is no room there to put her under cover, so she stands outside with some other forlorn friends, but they do provide nesting places for the feathered variety, as I have seen myself!

Thanks Papa Lima

Would be neat to see her made complete and on display!

I was there for several days last year, and I was told that the Lightning is one a small group of aircraft “in reserve” which they intend to get around to refurbishing “one of these days”, static only, of course.
