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.

Almost cancelled at one point, it suffered from chronic underdevelopment throughout much of itÂ’s career and this adversely affected itÂ’s export potential.
