The only all-British supersonic aircraft to enter production, and the last all-British single-seat fighter, the English Electric Lightning defended United Kingdom air space for more than twenty-five years. ItÂ’s astounding performance and docile handling wowed airshow audiences and won the hearts of all the pilots that flew it. Almost cancelled at one point, it suffered from chronic underdevelopment throughout much of itÂ’s career and this adversely affected itÂ’s export potential.

RAF 56 Squadron XM171 Code “A” 17 ins in height and made from solid kiln dried mahogany. 56 Squadron markings are carved and the code letter “A” is in raised relief.
