More Lincolnshire finds...
 

On the way back from an ecu repair today, we managed to find this in someone's front garden!

Better than a gnome any day of the week, Deb had a chat with the owner who is more than happy to chat about the planes history and let folks take piccies 😎😎

WOW, good find Andy. English Electric Lightning fighter. When these things took off and climbed near vertical it was very spectacular. :D:D:D:D

He might have more than one of them ... he certainly did at one time. :}

Flipping heck Andy, how do you find em? :cool:;).

they have one in a museum near me, very impressive and they let me sit in the cockpit. apparently massively fast even by today's standards

How cool :cool: I remember one of those besides the A1 many years ago near Grantham!

Yes, l remember that one too. It always looked a bit sad, covered in graffiti & pointing at the sky as if yearning to return there.
It finally got broken up, the cockpit section being saved for a museum.

Years ago The Buck Pub in Chop Gate had a Lightening jet in the rear garden. Was there for a while, then I believe the Council got involved....and no more jet. Killjoy mode I expect.

Did it come from Binbrook?

I was lucky enough to witness 'The Last Lightning Show'.Was the best airshow I've ever been to :bowdown:

From what I can find it belong to 11 squadron at Binbrook until 1988.
