Default RE: E E Lightning book

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the info about calling the UK. I'll try tomorrow. I would love to get a ride in one, but $11,000 plus airfare to South Africa is a little to steep for me!
I bought the book on the Ligtning from SAM publications, it's great as far as color and markings, but devotes a lot of pages to the prototypes, which I feel could have been better used by detailing the production models. Also doesn't have a lot of pictures of the cockpit, other than a P1A, which is a preproduction aircraft and the cockpit is very different than the production models. There are just drawings from a manual. The two sites that are mentioned fill in all the detail, though it would've been nice to have included pictures in the book.
Thanks again for the info.
BRG,
Jon
