Great photos uuoret – ahh the nostalgia. A higher-res version of the first should might be useful – it might work as a half-page spread to put behind some text. If you can send me that when you have a minute please let me know – [email]tpmclelland@yahoo.co.uk[/email] cheers!

Mack– thanks for the pointer – I had already spotted your excellent site so I’ll message you on that.

Binbrook – I’m intrigued… which Lightning is this?

I’m still trying to find a lead for Richard Wilson, the guy who took the beautiful 56 Squadron shots (Firebirds and checker-tailed machines) many years ago. He seems to have disappeared. Anyone heard anything of him?
