Limited Edition of 195
English Electric Lightning of 56 Squadron.
Conceived in a post-war period when speed, acceleration and climb rate were the key measures of a fighter, the Lightning excelled on all counts. Capable of Mach 2 in level flight, the Lightning provided the back bone of Britain’s front-line defence until well into the 1970’s. During the early 1960’s many Lightning squadrons gave their aircraft colourful paint schemes, none was more striking than 56 Squadron (The Firebirds), who in 1963 doubled as the official RAF display team.
