Last of the development batch of F.1s on at RAF Museum Cosford. The F.1 was powered by two vertically mounted Avon Mk 201s, with No.2 engine being on top and further aft in the staggered arrangement. This aircraft was used to test various aspects of the aircraft's design, powerplant and trial the Red Top missile. It received a square fin with 15% greater area for F.3 trials. The top view shows Firestreaks, the 60⁰ swept wings and ailerons with honeycomb tips, and the small pivoting tailplane. Renowned for its phenomenal rate of climb, the Lightning could go vertically at 20,000 ft/min.

The cockpit section of XG325, retrieved from P&EE Foulness in June 1972 by a team led by F/O Bill Dann of 1476 (Rayleigh) Squadron ATC. The cockpit is seen here 3 months later, converted to a travelling exhibit (I seem to remember by RAF Wattisham), on the Squadron's stand at the Wattisham BoB Display. The cockpit was often displayed at the HAM Southend. It was sold to a private buyer in Thetford, Norfolk in 2011. XG325 was one of 20 pre-production aircraft and used by De Havilland for Firestreak Trials; SOC at Warton, March 1966; dismantled by 60 MU and to P&EE Foulness 28 October 1968.
