Excellent, will get them shortly, BTW hows that project of yours coming along, the one thats topical to this thread ? ;), I nearly had a moment of weakness and started one myself when this thread appeared LOL, but I must remain strong and resist the urge to add yet another project to the great unfinished pile that already exists LOL.

The guys at Bruntingthorpe might choose to disagree with you there, but you're probably right.

I think that the "red tape" barrier could prove more of a stumbling block for any future Lightning flights in UK airspace, rather than a lack of suitable airframes.....though it's worth remembering that a Victor took to the skies recently despite being officially grounded :monkies::icon_lol:.
 
I believe Bruntingthorpes Lightnngs are both at the fatigue limit for the wings, but don't quote me on that, it's been a while since I went there last.
 
woohoo! thats one way to earn yourself a stern talking to :jump: was a brief flight but boy it was good to see them wheels off the floor!
 
Thats why the local council should stop putting speed humps everywhere lol funnily enough that was the first event at Bruntingthorpe I haven't been to for about 3 years!! and I missed it! Sods law! :icon_lol:
 
that was great to me it look as if a gust or crosswind took it up still I hink if it was me in there I'd have seriously soiled myself!!!
