  6. English Electric Lightning T.5 The Lightning was developed from the P.1 research aircraft, and was a fast-climbing Mach 2 interceptor which saw service with both the Royal Air Force and the Royal Saudi Air Force. The power of two reheated Rolls-Royce Avon engines was enough to enable the aircraft to climb at over 20,000 ft/min! This trainer version is unusual for a fighter aircraft in that it had side by side seating (during this era the RAF's trainers all had this feature). The biggest failing of the aircraft was that initial versions had such a small fuel load that it was practically a 'point defence interceptor'. This example is seen at the Newark Air Museum, Nottinghamshire #RAF #RoyalAirForce #EnglishElectric #fighter #interceptor #RoyalSaudiAirForce #Newark #airmuseum #museum #avgeek #aviationlovers #Mach2 #fuelload #Lightning #RollsRoyce #RollsRoyceAvon #reheat

  11. Yep, I got to fly in that baby once, way back in 1979. I still have the souvenir kit from it, which I need to rehome. The coolest thing was being able to see the curvature of the earth and the darkness above from that high up (60,000 feet or 18,300 meters). #ThrowbackThursday #Concorde #Supersonic #BritishAirways #Mach2 #aviation
