Charles Ross Lightnings (Update)

XR725

Over on Fighter Control forum, there is a thread going for ZR725 and she has had some work done and looks much better and is armed with a set of missiles and what looks to be a repaint of the black spine and tail as well as other work.

haha i can imagine the party invitation title “come to our lightning roast” roast your chicken an just about everything else in the heat and thrust of my avons. 😀

Red and grey?, tip tanks?, now that would be an interesting Lightning!!!!:D .

This is XR725 a couple of years ago so she may have been spruced up a bit more since then.

I should google this really

Now is that the red and grey one or is it the one in camo with tip tanks fitted?

Thanks for the the help. Is the one in his yard pretty much stripped as spares ship for 724?

Hi Peter, she was stripped for spares before the end of Binbrook so Charles brought a shell and transported to his garden in the village

Thanks guys!

Nice one 🙂

Hi Peter,
Charles owns XR725 which is in his back garden and as you probably already know is a major part of the Lightning Assoisiation which own XR724.
