One of the Lightning Preservation Group’s two F.6s is seen here in the ex-Wattisham QRA sheds at the Group’s premises at Bruntingthorpe during a night photo shoot following a twilight runway run. Built in 1966, this aircraft has been with the Group since 1993 when it was retired from use with the then-British Aerospace at Warton, with whom it had been used for Tornado F.3 radar development trials following an RAF career with 11 Sqn, whose colours it still wears.
