RAF MILDENHALL, 23RD MAY 1986

All the pictures on this page were kindly supplied by Graham Tiller. They remain his copyright and you must contact him if you wish to use them for anything other than personal use.

F.3 XR713 'DD' of the Lightning Training Flight (LTF). Tactical dark sea grey / dark green scheme with natural metal undersides. Compare with her as she is now, at top of page!
F.6 XS928 'AH' of 5 squadron in the dark sea grey / light aircraft grey scheme with the high demarcation line (contrast with the version on XR773, below).

RAF BINBROOK, 22ND AUGUST 1987

F.6 XR773 'BR' of 11 squadron. Dark sea grey and light aircraft grey scheme; low-vis roundels and Firestreaks.
F.6 XP693 - BAe's bird. Used as a chase plane and radar target for Tornado ADV development; beautiful picture this, with aircraft reflected in the puddles! Overall silver with full-colour roundels.
F.3 XP764 'DC' of the LTF was parked next to XP693. Note the small belly tank; an easy way to tell it apart from the big-bellied F.6. Another one in the dark sea grey and light aircraft grey scheme, but this time no missiles at all, instead the rounded pylon stubs are fitted.
A line of Lightnings! This is but one of many sights never to be repeated... :( Lots of different colour schemes to be seen here.

DTEO BOSCOMBE DOWN, 14TH JUNE 1992

F.6 XS904 in the tactical dark sea grey and dark green scheme of old (natural metal undersides), complete with overwing 'Overburger' tanks. Looks like the rudder was replaced at one point!
