Best of British!

Postby simonmd » Sun Jan 08, 2006 2:33 pm

Here's a few shots of one of my favorite classic military jets, the English Electric Lightning.

I have fond memories of this unique aircraft as I was in the Air Training Corps when I was at school and was lucky enough to goto RAF Binbrook for a week on an 'annual camp'. This was the last RAF base in the mid '80's to still be flying the Lightning and we had very close access to them. We even spent an afternoon polishing the inside of the huge air intake at the front!

The scenery is worth a mention as well, it's RAF Brize Norton by By Nick Black. Both AC and scenery can be found here at Simviation, enjoy!

A higher wide angle shot to show more of the Brize Norton scenery. Some of the static AC that come with this scenery include C17s, Tristars, a C5 and a few VC10 tankers.

I see crew comfort has improved for the Lightning pilot - he now gets a pair of air-stairs to choose from when disembarking from his aircraft.

Nice shots Simon. :)
