If you are going to have a collection of Cold War jets, then you have to have one example of the best of them all, the magnificent EE Lightning! (ok I may be a wee bit biased) This is another new arrival at the magnificent Pima Air & Space Museum having been a victim of the clearout from the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins.

The ground-breaking design concept of the Lightning was so revolutionary that there were serious doubts within the British aviation establishment as to whether it would even get off the ground, never mind become the front-line fighter for the RAF. Two (Prototype) P1 experimental aircraft were commissioned that went on to vindicate the design and pave the way for the superb Lightning and its nearly 30 years in RAF service.

A fine exhibit at the Midland Air Museum. In the process of being painted in its original RSAF markings. It is already showing the Saudi roundel and code "C", but the tail and nose markings are still missing.

Pictured whilst serving the Lightning Training Flight, based at RAF Binbrook, this Lightning had earlier seen service with 111 and 5 Sqns. Later performed as 11 Sqn's display aircraft and was withdrawn in 1.87 with 3212 hours after a period back at the LTF, being scrapped next year. Also see my 1974 flying shot back in the days when she was still in the classic natural metal finish with 111 Sqn
