Hi all

My favorite article would have to be the one on Victor XL231 at elvington, i think it was in november 2002. It’s my favorite because im in the photos as im part of the team that looks after her.

Hi British Canuck

The engines have siezed through a long period of non usage but the wing fold attachments were cut at some point probably when the aircraft was moved to elvington the aircraft was there before i worked there so im not sure

Hi all

Just a bit on XX901 she can’t be run because both the main bearings in the engines are sezied and the wing folding koints have been cut so she cant fold her wings.

Hi all

At the last lightning run both lightnings ran 728 was full operational but 904 only ran on one engine. Dont know if they have sorted out the problems on 904 yet

Hi all

More great photos, next time i go down to cornwall i must get photos of the lightnings down there. Sad to see the pics of the lightnings at binbrook just waiting for the scrapman but at least we saved some of them.

Long Live the Frightning !!!!!!!

Ill be working that weekend (Booooo) but enjoy your look around XP706 isnt in the public area so if you wanna have a look ask someone and im sure they will take you round the back to have a look. I warn you now she dont look too good at the min with only half a wing and wires hanging out all over the place.

Hi Peter

its not only the work involved with taking a lightning apart but where would the lightning assosiation get the money to do it and where would they take 724 Bruntingthorpe but still no hangar, Cranfield but again no hangar, Elvington but the yorshire air museums would require that the ownership of the aircraft be signed over to them. As for avpin starting there is no other way to start a lightning than the avpin starter you can use a external starter as there is no provision for it on the lightning and you cant use avtur or any other fule as avpin is a mono combustable fule it dosnt need oxygen to burn.

As promised earlier ive attached a image of the wire bundle im disconecting on mine at the min

Hi All

Peter the only problem with moving 724 is the vast amount of work ans the cost involved. 724 would have to be take apart which would include removal of the engines and disconecting a amazing amount of hydrulics and electrics and would need to be done indoors really. I have to do all the work on my lightning outdoors and it would be much esier indoors. Ill post a pic i took on sunday of the electrics im working on on mine at the moment to give you an idea of the work invovled.
