Sortie in an English Electric Lightning


Malcolm Muir recalls a typical short sortie in an English Electric Lightning:
"For an example of short sortie times consider XA856, the second prototype P1B, which was based at the Rolls-Royce Flight Test Centre at Hucknall, near Nottingham during the 1960s, together with a Mk 2 and a Mk 3 Lightning."
