Brilliant pictures Toby and nice to see the classic Lightning and Hunter, thanks for sharing them with us.

Incidentally I have moved from reading pilots' accounts of their time during the Battle of Britain and come up to the 1950 - 1990 era.

Some of the books I have already are: Lightening Boys, Valiant Boys, Harrier Boys and Phantom Boys so seeing those aircraft in the pictures that Toby has posted gives me a link to the tales these pilots told. Makes for some very interesting reading and well worth buying.

Regards
Nigel.

Nice shots Toby, there are two tails in there that I have definitely put spanners to when I worked for Betty Windsors Flying Circus :)
