RE: EE P.1B XA853

I have a pic of XA847. Can’t find any codes on my other Lightning prints (cockpit shots etc). Anyone know where this is? I believe Bee Beamont is at the controls.

Thanks for the replies Guy’s, this seems to be more a difficult question than I had thought!

RE: EE P.1B XA853

Looks like you’ve got everybody stumped on this one Keith ?? , there was a pre-production Lightning in the Marine Salvage yard at Portsmouth about 2-3 years ago , anybody know which one it was ?? , if I remember correctly it was turfed out of a museum to be replaced with a Lightning which was more representable of RAF aircraft .There was a T-33 lying next to it ( ex- Ormonde Baillie ??) anybody know the serial of this ??? , the yard is a toyshop for adults , full of big engines!!!
