TF2159 : English Electric Lightning Mk1, XM192 at Thorpe Camp
taken 8 years ago, near to Tattershall Thorpe, Lincolnshire, England
English Electric Lightning Mk1, XM192 at Thorpe Camp
XM192 first flew with 111 squadron at RAF Wattisham, until the squadron upgrade to Mk 3s when it served with 226 OCU at Coltishall Link. XM192 was retired at the end of 1973 when the station was taken over by front-line defence Jaguars.
Despite suffering the indignity of having wings and tail removed for transport purposes she has been reassembled here for display. The tailfin bears the original squadron marking of 111 Sqadron, Wattisham.
