Yeah.. I liked the Alpha Frightning (especially the twin seaters) That second screenie reminds me very much of my first encounter with a Lightning at Farnborough when I was just a wee puppy. Got off the coach which had arrived late.. heard this monster sound and looked around to see a Lightning coming down the runway at not a great height then pull up vertical. To say I was gobsmacked is an understatement!
Bootiful, a real Mk 1! How do I get one? All I can ever find are 1As.
Talking of Farnborough, the first one was done from Boscombe Down. The morning after the final show we found all our aircrafts' tigers looking very natty with top hats, monocles and bow ties!
I dunno but I'm guessing as Sam said it was now ?V-something.. the model remains payware and is ex-Alphasim/now Virtavia. It may be that the paint Sam shows is courtesy of SOH
