What MK is she F4 or GA-11 ????
Right as of Yesterday the T7 will have its major done in the Uk then do approx 30 hours in the UK before going to Canada.
The 6/9 (lol) will have it major do too in the Uk and then do approx 30 hours again in the Uk before going to Canada , BUT there is a possiblty of her staying in the Uk if funds can be made for her to stop in the UK and do airshows, Exeter (HFC)are working on it to get sponership for her to stay here.
Stringbag – she not live-expired got lots left. both jets are in excellent condition are are now sat in the back of the hanger at Exeter work starting soon on then
Photo to be in Flypast next month
The 7 hopefully will do its flight test here (and then ferry as she can carry 230 tanks), as for the 6 she may go in a container (as she can’nt carry any tanks at all well expect water ones lol) or if the owners can be persauded, she could stop here on the airshow scene .. I hope
both will be flying soon. Once the majors are complete on both airframes
T7 and F6 ( both Raspberry Ripple ) Boscombe to Exeter

The Hunter that did the flypast at Coningsby was it silver ? ??
The Lightning overwing tanks are jettisonable but only when empty and no you do’nt have to go inverted..
From a jet piont of view F.I. is very important.. Its a case no F.I. no fly. But most civil operater ( Hunter etc) operater the aircraft ( ie “G” loads) completely differently to say the RAF, so you can say probably another 100-150 years. The main problem is spares and the good old one COST ..
They are but only when there empty
Sorry in my eyes its got to be
under wing
On the Lightning case there’s no where to fit hardpoints under the wing, very long legs. All though there is a hardpoint all most at the wingtip for small ordnance 1 or 2 500lbs
