These two were in the garden of Lightning lover and Binbrook vet Charles Ross. The silver aircraft is XM192 an F1A and the subject of the first Airfix model. This aircraft is now at the closed Bomber Country Aviation Museum at Hemswell if my memory serves me right. The grey aircraft is F6 XR725 which was the one but last 11 squadron CO’s aircraft, hence the black spine and fin. This aircraft should still be in Charles garden. Charles has alot of Lightning memrobilea in his house, a visit to his Lightning Room is a treat for any Lightning fan!

The Spit flying with the Typhoon was PS915 which we have flying on a bit longer this winter due to the lack of hours it flew this season, hence the reason it was at Duxford last weekend.

If your looking to use up some hours why not take it upto Daz’s place and buzz him for a bit I’m sure he’d appreciate it! 😀

‘ZK was indeed dismantled at Hatfield in March 57 but the fuselage was then transported to Farnbourgh.

Hello G-ORDY

The Comet in question is the second prototype c/n 06002 : G-ALZK.

This aircrafts fueslage was used to test equipment installation for the Nimrod. The nose is from Mk2 XK669 and the tail is from XM829. This fuselage was later moved to Woodford and scrapped in the mid 70’s.

If your interested the Provost is WV587.
