Aah.... can't argue with that clapclap


(although to be picky, '752 was built originally as a F.3 and then converted to full F.6 standard so is really 1960's - but I better quick with anorak in hand at this point )

Nice bit of artwork though

Spent a happy afternoon as a nipper on one of our holidays in Scotland - sat in the car near the end of the runway at Leuchars - watching the Lightnings do touch & go landings! What a climb rate - amazing planes...and nice to see one in 111 livery (I was in the ATC Sdn of the same no.)

Favourite 1950s Rifle? Easy:
My September '52 Fazakerley No.4 Mk2
