Oh god i think i've had a crisismikeblaze wrote:Here is a teaser of some advanced panting for the initial release packages. All models are reflective, so it is twice as slow painting, but well worth it. These are F.1, F.52, and F.53 serials for the RAF, RSAF, and KAF. More previews to follow.

I was there that day and it was truely the most amazing thing to see...Stewart Pearson wrote:True Story:
Picture the scene. Lightning sitting at the runway hold short. Phantom on finals for a touch and go. Phantom pilot does his overshoot right over the top of the Lightning - lights his burners and pulls vertical. Lightning pilot gets take off clearance, taxis into position and takes off (ala Lightning) pulls vertical and overtakes Phantom!!
Happened at Binbrook many years ago in the good old days.
