English Electric Lightning P1B (XA847)   
  Location and date  
Farnborough (FAB/EGLF) (United Kingdom)  Show nearby airports Show location
September, 1994
  Photographer  
  Remarks  
El XA847 es un Lightning particularmente importante, siendo el primer P.1B. Recordemos que se trataba del prototipo monoplaza operacional. Se fabricaron tres prototipos, dos aviones para preproducción y tres estructuras para pruebas.
Voló por primera vez el 4 de abril de 1957. La forma del fuselaje se cambió para poder acoger motores más grandes y la cabina también se movió ligeramente hacia arriba, con un carenado que ahora se extiende hacia la cola. El XA847 tuvo un rendimiento significativamente mejor que los dos P.1As y el 25 de noviembre de 1958 alcanzó por primera vez una velocidad de Mach 2. Tuvo una larga carrera como avión de pruebas hasta su baja en 1972. Pasó al Museo de Hendon pero en 1988 fue reemplazado por otro aparato del mismo modelo. A punto de ser desguazado lo adquirió un particular, Wensley Haydon-Baillie, si bien estuvo desamblado durante años hasta que fue reconstruido para el Salón de Farnborough 94 en que fue una de las estrellas de la exposición estática. Por desgracia "sic transit gloria mundi" fue desmontado y arramblado en un hangar poco después desconociendo cómo se encuentra a día de hoy 26 años después

English Electric Lightning F3 (XP706)   
  Location and date  
Doncaster - South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum (United Kingdom)  Show nearby airports Show location
May 19, 2015
  Photographer  
  Remarks  
XP706's last flight was in July 1985, and she was put into storage at Binbrook initially before being towed out onto the airfield as a decoy a couple of months later. Disposed of to the Lincolnshire Lightning Preservation Society, in late December 1987 they cut her wings and tail off to ease transport and towed her behind a tractor all the way from Binbrook to Strubby airfield. She spent some years there, tucked away in a hangar. Unfortunately little progress was made on restoring the aircraft to complete condition and early in 1999 XP706 was bought by John Jennings and moved to the Bomber County Aviation Museum at Hemswell. With that museum's closure she was bought by Scott Clayton in late 2002 and moved to Aeroventure at Doncaster. Scott is making slow but sure progress on her restoration, and while she still has her wings and tail off, I'm assured she's "getting there"! - See more at: http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/lightning/survivor.php?id=131#sthash.mMFX9icy.dpuf

English Electric Lightning F53 (ZF583)   
  Location and date  
Carlisle (CAX/EGNC) (United Kingdom)  Show nearby airports Show location

  Photographer  
  Remarks  
ZF583 was first flown in March of 1968 as G-27-51 and delivered in July of that year to the Royal Saudi Air Force at RSAF Jeddah. She served with 6 Squadron and 2 Squadron and with the type's withdrawal from Saudi service, BAe bought her back off the Saudis as part of the deal to sell Tornados to the Saudis and she was flown back to the UK serialled ZF583, arriving on 14th January 1986. After unsuccessful attempts to sell the ex-Saudi airframes, BAe eventually sold them to museums and other interested parties. ZF583 was acquired by the Solway Aviation Museum and after several years out in the weather her natural metal finish was looking very shabby so she was painted in a dark grey scheme similar to that worn by some later RAF Lightnings. Beginning in 2007 she was repainted in her current lighter grey scheme with a black tail and red radome - which wouldn't be very authentic even if she were an ex-RAF bird and not a Saudi one. However it does at least protect the metal!

  Remarks  
Impresiona ver un Lightning en 2014 corriendo por la pista con los postquemadores a tope. Y el ruido bestial!!

Este ejemplar fue construido como un F3 y realizó su primer vuelo el 17-3-1965. Luego fue almacenado en Warton para ser convertido a la variante F6, con alas mejoradas y mayor capacidad de combustible. Entró en servicio en Noviembre de 1967 y finalizó su vida operativa en RAF Binbrook, al noreste de Inglaterra. En 1988 fue comprado por el Lightning Preservation Group que lo mantiene "vivo" junto con su hermano XS904

Curiosa disposición del montaje de las turbinas Rolls-Royce Avon de este Lightning, creo que ha sido el único con turbinas superpuestas. En la foto se ve claramente que las turbinas no están montadas.
