Sad really, particularly as I am old enough to remember the Lightning formation team in action.
Me too.

…….Sad really, particularly as I am old enough to remember the Lightning formation team in action.
And I am old enough to have worked on them. Ex 19, 23 and 74 Sqdn’s member. Oh such happy days.

Incredible pictures. 😎
I doubt we will ever see such a pure design in service again.

Lovely shots Phil. but don’t you just wish some-one would pull the stick back and go for it.
Yes, but then everybody from the CAA to the noise abatement society would be on the case and chancing of even getting permission to run the engines on a Lightning would decrease if not vanish totally.

Seeing those bring back memories of the days when they were in service.
