Binbrook Open Day '82 - Lightnings in flying display
By way of an addendum to xkekeith's excellent post here are some pics of the nine ship and subsequent recovery. This was an interesting time as about half the a/c were in the new Barley grey scheme whilst the rest were still in the tactical scheme, in which some remained until retirement 6 yrs. later. We were fortuitously positioned at the end of the taxi-way which meant that they taxied directly towards us before turning onto the flightline.
