Does anyone know what they intend to do with this Light ning? From pics online of her, she appears to be in good external condition but an empty cockpit?

Great photo.
She looks a bit sad doesn’t she? Hopefully her turn will come before she gets too bad.

Olympic Lightning
Currently on display – outdoors, yes, but complete – no.
There is no room there to put her under cover, so she stands outside with some other forlorn friends, but they do provide nesting places for the feathered variety, as I have seen myself!

Thanks Papa Lima
Would be neat to see her made complete and on display!

I was there for several days last year, and I was told that the Lightning is one a small group of aircraft “in reserve” which they intend to get around to refurbishing “one of these days”, static only, of course.
