English Electric/British Aircraft Corporation Lightning F.6 The last 'all-British' fighter aircraft, the #Lightning was developed from a research #aircraft, the P.1. Capable of accelerating - vertically - through Mach 1, its originally small fuel load limited the range of this Mach 2 #fighter. Later versions added more fuel and a wider range of weapons. Used by Saudi Arabia as well as the Royal Air Force, it was immensely popular with its pilots. This example - of a Lightning F.6 the last Mark used by the #RAF - is seen at the RAF Museum, #London. #EnglishElectric #RoyalAirForce #BAC #supersonic #SaudiArabia #RAFMuseum #aviation #museum #technology #Mach #design #avgeek #photography

@bouncywallaby Crikey!
I could probably walk that faster! 🙃
Best climb rate I ever saw (sadly, never experienced) was an #EnglishElectric #Lightning departing the #Woodford #AirShow in the early 1990s - they patched his radio into the PA system.
Parked at one end of the runway, he lit both afterburners.
"Releasing brakes, starting take off roll" he announced, and shot off down the runway, pulling straight up into a vertical climb.

Dg772 is a beautiful machine and it's a privilege to work on her at the Ferrymead railway in Christchurch NZ. Here are some views from a 2019 event. #EnglishElectric #NZR #Kiwirail #preservedDiesels #train #bahn #bahnbilder

Back in the late 80's I snapped this fine trio at the NYMR, mainline locos at the time but classed as heritage diesels nowadays (even though there are plenty still mainline registered).
31428, 37502 and 37501 the Type 2 was being named 'The North Yorkshire Moors Railway '
