The Just Flight English Electric Lightning F.6 captures all the brutal power and awesome presence of this phenomenal aircraft. The Mk.6 Lightning was the pinnacle of the breed, giving you the chance to recapture something of the mixture of elation and sheer terror that faced the Lightning pilot of the 60s and 70s!
The first and last purely British-built supersonic Fighter and Interceptor, this hugely powerful aircraft was a potent symbol of the Cold War and was designed to be on high readiness to launch at a few minutes’ notice.
