Happy Homecoming

Post by 3Greens » Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:09 pm

23rd July 1992 saw the return flight of Lightning F6 XR724 from storage over at Shawbury back to Binbrook - Great day but also another sad one as well
as it was never gonner get vertical again!
Here's a few I've dug out of that memorable day.
