RE: E E Lightning book
Jon,
Ian Black (ex-Lightning pilot) published a couple of good, mainly picture, books on the Lightning - might be worth a look. Also, I have a load of photographs of the ex-Saudi F53 that's now at Carlisle Airport (incidentally, the last Lightning to be test flown by Roland Beamont), showing lots of detail of the airframe, except for the top surfaces. I could scan and send them if they would be of use (although, bear in mind that the F-53 was basically a Mk 6 with a big belly tanks and squared off fin and Mick's model is a Mk 1 - ie., sharp tip fin and small belly tank).
Cheers,
