This page will be revamped in due course; rather than remove all these images I have left them in place for the time being, though many are of poor quality these days.
Those shots were kindly supplied by Euan Withersby and 611 Squadon ATC, and are of an unidentified Lightning F.3 cockpit held by the Squadron. These images are copyright © 1997 Euan Withersby; personal use is unrestricted but if you want to use them commercially you must contact Euan (removing the .no.junk.mail text from the address first!) for his permission.

My favorite plane of all time (48). Have been lucky enough to see one flying down at Thunder City Cape Town, Absolutely fantastic sight.A lottery win and i would go and be flown in one. Memories from chilhood in Gt Yarmouth when seeing them fly over from Coltishall.

A VERY GOOD AIRPLANE AHEAD OF HIS TIME. KILLED BY POLITICS AND ECONOMICS.

I flew Tigers, Chipmunks, Austers and a few of the Piper range and even a Tipsy Nipper but I would have given anything to have a go in the Lightning. I remember reading about its development in the Junior Express. It was called the P1 then. Some nice photos. Thanks
