Thanks Jamie, I'll pass on your comment - you wouldn't think that it was the same aircraft from how it looked a couple of years ago, when the previous 'miracle coating' reacted so badly.

It'll be nice to see it surrounded by lots of other Lightning related items next month - let alone what might be around it on Sunday!!
