Lightning T.5 information sought

摘要

Newark Air Museum is hoping to document the service history of its English Electric Lightning T.5 XS417. The jet had a long 'career', flying operationally from 1962 to 1988, with over 2,603 flying hours recorded. It was based at several locations during that time, including Binbrook, Coltishall, Leuchars, Coningsby and Wattisham, before arriving at Newark. It flew with 226 OCU, 23,56 and 11 Squadrons, and the Lightning Training Flight. The museum would be pleased to hear from anyone who flew or worked on XS417.
