For an aircraft which instilled immense national pride in so many people over such a long period, it is no wonder that the English Electric Lightning still commands a significant position in the hearts of the UK aviation enthusiast, with two very special aeroplanes being singled out for special attention.

Until recently, two of the aircraft regularly blasted down the runway at Bruntingthorpe airfield, always drawing large crowds for these events. Lightning F.6 XS904 has been in the care of the LPG since 21st January 1993, a historic occasion which witnessed the final military flight of an English Electric Lightning fighter. Flying from the British Aerospace factory airfield site at Warton in formation with a Panavia Tornado F.3 fighter, the pair made a high speed pass along the length of the runway at Bruntingthorpe on their arrival, before the Deputy Chief Test Pilot at BAe Warton, Peter Orme, brought this magnificent supersonic aircraft in for her final landing at her new home.

During a 20 year RAF career, XS904 served with Nos 5 and 11 Squadrons and is one of the nine Lightnings which took part in a spectacular 9 ship formation during the Last Lightning show at RAF Binbrook on 22nd August 1987.
