Even more Lightnings....

Post by **3Greens** » Sun Mar 14, 2010 6:12 pm

When you lived so close to such a great place like Binbrook how can you not just love Lightnings. Here's just a few from my files to enjoy

Nice move by OC/11 Sqd. to have the black fin (1987)

23 Sqd. officially disbanded on the Lightning on 31st October 1975 but these arrived on the 16th ready for reallocation to 5 and 11

Previous 11 Sqd. marks just visible

After the long flight back from Akrotiri - gun pack removed from more fuel plus overwing tanks

56 Sqd. marks removed

Got a shock when 5 Sqdn. CO's plane turned out in this colour scheme

Here was XR770 just a short time previous - thought it was being withdrawn

Classic view taxiing out

Chasing Tornado F3s in October 1985

An oldie from 1972

Getting toward the 'end' in 1988

Hope you liked them
