Please stop posting Lightning shots. They make me come over all unnecessary.

[Nighthawke]

No please continue to post - for the same reason as Blue Diamond

Great scans, my favourite type, I wish I'd have got up to Binbrook before they'd gone more than just the one visit on a very wet August day in 1987!

More, more, more.

Hi, absolute stunners everyone of them sir!! Having lived so close to Binbrook whilst growing up these are fantastic memories.

Thanks again

Cheers Glenn

In a sad coincidence, XP753 in your first pic was lost with it's pilot (Flt/Lt Mike Thompson) exactly 5 years later on the 26th August 1983 at Scarborough. Only a month before, Mike Thompson had won the Superkings Jet Solo aeros trophy in XP753 at the IAT, RAF Greenham Common.

Fab pics by the way - thanks for posting.
