Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 BAE Lightening!!!!!!! I will need a box of tissues for that I live very near BAE Woodford which is now closed down but I love my childhood memories of goign to the Woodford airshow and seeing aircraft like the Lightening, Harrier, and especially the Vulcan Bomber. I was at school during the Falklands War and we used to see the Vulcans fly in to Manchester Airport although I'm not really sure why they went their instead of Woodford...but they did. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh yes, the Lightning is the main reason I'm watching! Fantastic plane, I believe it still holds a few records to this day. Phenomenal for a 1950's plane when you consider the jets in service today.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 When they took off at Woodford they would go vertical as soon as they got off the ground with full afterburner and just disappear in to the sky Extreme aircraft porn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
