Lightning Preservation Group, reheat run of English Electric Lighting XR728. 28th November 2009. This run was dediated to Dave Stock who was killed in the South African T5 (ZU-BEX) crash on 14th November 2009.
This is one of 2 F.Mk 6 English Electric Lightnings kept in full working order by the Group. The event was originally planned as a fundraiser to help to complete the rebuild of the historic RAF Wattisham QRA hangar for the 2 jets to be maintained in at Bruntingthorpe. However, the events at Overberg in South Africa 2 weeks previous, led the organisers to also dedicate the reheat runs in memory of the pilot who died, Dave Stock.
That has to be the single best sound from a video of these aircraftive ever heard.
