    458

    returning 458 back to bear metal is not and option for us as there are only 5 of us. because as mjr so rightly says it is a momoth task as my self and crew know from past 5 resprays that we have done since i have own her. it takes 20 weeks of saturdays just to rub down prepare and respray one side and thats with good weather

    great pic did you know that for both of these great guys it was for each of them their last time in a live lightning how fitting that they should do it together in 458 on our celebration of the 50th anniversary at cranfield

    jimmys last live lightning run

    in august 2004 when we celebrated 50th of the first flight of the p.1b with xs458 i invited jimmy to be our guest and to honour the occasion i asked him to pull the paper off the fin to unvail the big 50th then we surprise him by telling him that he was making a high speed run with brian carrol in the l/h seat sadly for both of them its was to be there last time that they where in a live lightning i always remember this day because there combined age was 150 years plus and for the orange flying suit jimmy wore for the run when they where both together in the cockpit just before start up i went up the ladder and said to them both dont get any ideals about having i trip somewhere bring her back brian!S an

    swer was we will try too. great guys i hope where ever they are that now that they have met up and are swapping stories rmc
