Title: 25th Anniversery EE Lightning in Service
Post by: tc2324 on March 18, 2012, 08:12:12 PM

Back in 1979 RAF Binbrook held an event to mark the 25th anniversary on the EE Lightning in service. A number of aircraft was painted up with the markings of each RAF squadron who operated the Lightning and here is my rendition of the 74 Sqn example. By now 74 Sqn had been disbanded about 8 years and they never operated the Lightning in the grey/green camo, hence why I`m posting here as it`s a bit `what if`ish`.

And here`s a picture of the actual aircraft.......
