English Electric Lightning F-3 XR713


An example of how the MoD's much hated 'One base - one gate guard' policy has been avoided; a squadron mascot! 111 Squadron at RAF Leuchars restored XR713, which had been earmarked for BDR=Battle Damage Repair duties, and they wheel it out for the static lineup at the Leuchars airshows Good to see the Tornado jocks know a real airplane when they see one.
