xs 458 finale 12th dec 2009

i would like to personally thank everyone who has come up to cranfield in 2009 and supported my lightning with out all you dedicated people i would not be able to have successful high speed run days. 458 is now in bed untill april 2010 when im hoping to start high speed runs again but this will be subject to ongoing maintence, avpin supply,and finance
458 finale on 12th dec was a day of high drama, noise, a awsome display of power with everyone high on adrenaline
unfortunately after one touch of the button start we lost the no 1 reheat on first run with lost of foward inertial chute failed to deploy, but after a ear spliiting stactic reheat with no 1 reheat back to full health now she was ready for the second run in the twilight where dennis gave us all a truly awsome display of power with two magnificent reheats and a good chute i will look forward to seeing you all again in 2010
happy new year best regards russell carpenter

hi peter we do give a lot care and special attention in between runs as she is kept out side under water proof covers but the component that we give most attention to is our onboard batterys without these being 100% you will always have problems starting but stactic running of the engines and reheats will excise and excite the aircraft symstems and also help to diagnose faults
hope this helps you russell carpenter

I have asked before but is there anywhere that has a calender of the Lightning runs as i am (just) old enough to remember them flying at Cranfield and would love to see one scream down the runway again.

I only live about 4 miles away so getting there is no problem but do you still have to sneak between the hangars to get to the apron unobserved (or was that just air show days?).

Either way a sight to behold.

if you would like details of my runs please send a message to my email box
