Interesting thread. I was under the impression that Lightnings weren’t allowed to fly in the UK because they were supersonic. I see now that it’s not that simple. I wonder if they’d be allowed here in Oz, hell, we got the space.:D

Ex 19, 23 and 74 Sqdns, Lightning Air Radar and later Nav Inst fitter. Don’t ask when, waaay too far back :rolleyes:
