A beautiful Thunderbolt rebuild https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10213030162292679&id=135117…
I doubt planes worry about anything
Tell me u have one under rebuild, Cees!
If they put an Allison in they wouldn’t have to change the Cowlings!
I thought it was for sale?
I wish it were an R-4360. Never heard one of those-and they could try for a speed record with it!
Does the absence of the original drawings mean that a lot of restorations had the wings fitted incorrectly?
Thank u, Trident! (And they used to fly over the family home about every ten minutes when I was a nipper!)
Anyone know why it didn’t have a chase plane? (that I could see, anyway!)
I’d imagine a lightning would easily accelerate to Mach 1 going vertically, and maybe even Mach 2 given the height. The hole at the bottom of the vertical would be very impressive I’d think….

Aircraft with the most delusional fan base? Aircraft type with the highest number of examples littering the North Sea? :highly_amused:
Most over-rated design???
Did the Lightning get any official records at all?
If only they could sell Windsor Castle and the crown jewels and put the money towards a flyable Hornet!
Bump! Don’t know if this helps with the French Spitfire Team query-but they are featured
Never heard of him-but he sure as hell knew what he was doing!
