Firebirds Lightning at 'Brunty'

摘要

THE Lightning Preservation Group's English Electric Lightning F3 XR713 was unveiled in a new dual colour scheme at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire on 23 July. The starboard side now wears the markings of a No 56 Squadron Firebirds aerobatic team machine, complete with the serial XR718, while the port side has been repainted in the markings XR713 wore with No 111 Squadron at Wattisham in the mid-1960s.
