Remarks: | This could be a scene from any 1980's airshow as an 11 Sqn Lightning goes through it's start up. Sadly the CAA do not permit complex aircraft like the Lightning to fly in the UK but 3 are preserved in flying condition and do fast taxi runs. Two are based at Bruntingthorpe which is also the current home of the Vulcan. |
