Speaking of Lightnings!!
I've mentioned a few times I like to link my builds into a theme, one such there was 'first and last' I just rediscovered this piccie I took sometime ago that's relevant to the Lightnings thread here. .
WG760, The first prototype of what would become the Lightning, the English Electric P1, the first British aircraft through the sound barrier in level flight in August 1954, now preserved at RAF museum Cosford, an Aeroclub vacform and modified Matchbox F6/2a parts
XP693 The definitive Lightning retained by English Electric/BAC/BAe for it's life time built as an F3 then converted to F3a on to full standard F6, it had a second life in Thunder City before being returned to the UK at RAF Binbrook in 2023,
Airfix Lightning F6
Miko (other examples of first and last I completed were Spitfire and Buccaneer, I also have plans for others such as
Airfix's Hawker Siddley Kestrel and Harrier GR9 for example)
