Having a lot of fun flying the Belfast around the Caribbean today.
A suntanned crew is a happy crew.

Can't see those Lightning pilots being too happy either. Fancy leaving the canopies open!

That particular version is by Team SDB Graham
It's a nice scenery package but isn't smoothed around the edges like the freeware version so you get the odd cliff. It uses the MPAI Lightnings for statics and AI which I've chopped out for John Young's models. I think the MPAI versions look more like MiGs

Cheers for that Dave. Just back from my evening walk on the cliffs.
I will have a look at that - need somewhere for JY's Lightnings to roost apart from Leconfield.

Did the plane ever see any combat action in any war?

No Aharon. It was introduced in '66 and retired in '76. It probably served longer in civilian clothes until a shortage of spares for it's RR Tynes put it out of business.
