😀 LOL, trouble is, when the sun is out and you are working on the airframe, the reflection gives you a headache and sunburn very quickly!

Thanks for the offer of a tour MJR
Hello MJR
Thanks for the offer of a tour but it is a little far to pop over for a day. Look forward to the update as you guys have done amazing work on the lightning and the other aircraft! Can’t wait to read about your first engine runs hopefully with video!

Hello Peter, appologies for the delay in reply, I just spotted it.
The website is due a big update in the next week or so, so keep an eye out.
minor updates this year have been posted to the “news” section, rather than the detail restoration sections, since we have been extraordinarily busy this year, what with the start of a similar project with a T7 Hunter to add to our already manic work schedule on the Lightning!
The project is moving along very well though, and we have had a good year, all be it with some diversions to other airframes, to address some issues. We have mainly concentrated on cockpit primary and secondary aiframe structures, as well as progressing the re-wiring, and finalising the fuel system.
We are currently working on refurbishing the reheat bays and pipes, as well as finishing no2 engine bay off. It wont be much longer now before a big fan fills both engine bays, so if anyone wants to come along for the guided tour and see the guts of a Lightning, now is the time Just contact us through the website contact details for an appointment, Saturday is the best day, since the whole team (normally 3-4 of us) are working with just about every panel off of the aircraft, so you can get a good look in etc. (if you fancy a day trip over the pond peter )
