    many many moons ago at a place called Church Fenton a 15 year old air cadet got a ride in a jp t5/3. Sitting in the left hand side he managed to get the engine going. Then started taxiing towards the runway and somehow managed to get airborne with maybe a wobble or two. Giving the passenger (12 year old air cadet)a go on the stick they managed flying fairly well until the landing. On final approach they flew a fairly good aproach until they were about twenty feet of the ground then things went drasticaly wrong. pulling the stick back with the thrittle closed the jp struck the ground tail first and made a horribe mess. With shaking leggs and a slight addrenaline rush they climbed out of the simulator with a story to tell.

    That was my best day on camp at Church Fenton

    hypotheticaly

    1st Restore the beverly to airworthiness :rolleyes:

    2nd get the vulcan back in flying trim 😎

    3rd get a lightning back from S A

    😀

    Hypotheticaly u could tank the lightning from the vulcan with the beverly being the support aircraft. All the aircraft could do displayes and be a kind of cold war memorial (hypotheticaly)

    HOW DID I MISS THAT!!!

    Not involved in any restoration she just has great sentimental values 4 me. She was the first lightning i can recal seeing at binbrook many many moons ago.
