This Lightning is 1 of 2 at Bruntingthorpe that can be powered up for the fast taxi demo. XS904/BQ is in the markings of 11F Fighter Squadron 11+5SQ were the last two units to operate the type in service, this is my favourite all time fast jet fighter. British from nose to tail, IMO should have been used by the NATO nations that opted to purchase the much less capable F104. Enjoy the roar of those RR Avons as she lights the burners and thunders down the runway!!!
