LIGHTNING XM192

Now that that the museum at Hemwell has closed does anyone know the fate of Lightning XM192?

Indeed it is good to see that she still survives. I went to take a look a year or so back. I rather thought they’d painted the tail fin black and yellow since then? Has it been repainted back to the standard markings now?

Hope they carry-on lavishing attention on the old beast. I noticed it was even on the national news a week or so back – some “journalist” talking claptrap and behold, the Lightning was behind him!

OOOOOOHHHHH steady on…you’ll have lots of forumites complaining that you have neglected to put the aircraft type in the heading:eek:

That’s if they haven’t started complaining that its had it’s flying surfaces cut off or other some such opinion which they’ll be only too pleased to share with you:rolleyes:

Anyways, good effort and I shall be popping along for a visit when I get out of the filth that is this desert:D

Ah XM192 – the Airfix Lightning. Have built that kit many moons ago and nice to see the real thing still alive and in the same markings as the kit.

Good to see progress being made but any chance of larger pics than thumbnails?

Being as the Lightning was only on loan to Hemswell, the owner, Charles Ross, will probably look at housing her elsewhere.

In the meantime, I am starting to worry about you, Stout Bucc fan that you are, what the fasination with the Lightning, mores to the point, what is this? 😀 😀 😀 😀
