Day out at RAF Cosford today

English Electric Lightning? had an Airfix kit of it as a kid, was lucky enough to see one fly at an airshow, they would do near vertical climbouts, amazing sight and sound.

We built some good aircraft...........

Thanks John - didn't realise it was a holiday rental but looks like a fab place to stay.

The traffic shows why I prefer to avoid the A17 and stay on local roads.

Plus on those local roads you meet very interesting characters

Yes we did indeed build some great aircraft,here's a few more pictures for you, apologies for the poor quality, some idiot had his finger over the lens , they have done a great job at Cosford in the way they have the aircraft displayed, this is how I remember the Lightning from the many air shows I attended as a boy, going straight up!, if you get a chance to go its free entry and only £3.50 to park all day!

That Rb211 engine is huge!

Been Cosford a few times when the R/C model show is on, always take a look around the hangers, the TSR2 always impresses me.

40 miles, first 20 dry, second 20 the heavens opened. It'll take longer for this lot to dry than it took for them to get wet
