Finally the old girl is getting airborne !! I thought Duxford would be on the cards once the TVOC denied that she would not be ready for Elvington.
Maybe oneday we will see the Bruntingthorpe Lightnings airborne too !!

Privately owned Lightnings are specifically excluded by the CAA from operation in UK airspace
This is why the guys operating the only currently airworthy ones moved their whole set-up (including two 2 seaters) to Cape Town, where I will be heading next year if all goes to plan

Although I'll grant you, their tendency to flameout if throttled back too quickly was probably a tad disconcerting
Will you be blagging a trip out in the Vulcan then Les

Yes i understand the CAA will not allow the lightnings to fly in the u.k i was at brunters a few weeks back watching them fast taxi a truly awesome sight. On the Lightning preservation group website it states that they are maintained in flyable condition. Does anybody know what state they are actually in ? could they pheoretically fly if at the end of one of the fast taxi runs the pilot pulled back on the stick!!

I would imagine that the legal consequences of pulling back on the stick, for the pilot involved, would be severe though

I should imagine it would be enough for the first "shakedown" test which so i'm told will be just a take off quick circle around the airfield and down agian. I don't even think the landing gear will be retracted on these first flights.

It'll be great to see the Vulcan back in the air again! I do think it's a shame the Lightnings can't be flown over here in the UK. They were always an amazing sight, just the raw power of a bloke strapped on top of two hugely powerful jet engines!

I have been trying to blag a trip ever since they started to rebuild 558, I did offer to be their display pilot, but it was already booked and the shop is closed so to speak.

Damn
Does that mean the 'discounted flights for SN members' scheme is out the window then Les
BTW: The Lightning was so fast the yanks had to cheat (no change there then) to beat it

I know all about the cheating, from when they set the regulations for their big bombing contest, we never had a chance-although we did frighten them once!
