Dear Dick
The Lightning is a love affair with both my Brother (who owns the model) and myself.
We used to see them at Air shows many years ago at Colt. Everybody knows a Lightning take off
they point their hands straight up.
If you are not going to build the Lightning how much do you want for it.
My Brother was talking of building another one just the other day.
Have you seen the CD Jaguar, if you have what do you think of it.
Regards Phil G.
Hi Phil,
I do intend building the Lightning...am down to 3 other projects before I start it so, maybe within 10-15 years!! I don't think that anybody who saw a stream take-off of Lightnings would ever forget the sight (and sound!)
I haven't seen a CD Jaguar in the flesh - it'll be nice to see one flying. And then there's the Buccaneer...one of which I know is being done at the moment and should be at the jet meets later this year (isn't someone prepping a 'real' one to fly soon...forget where it is..Scampton, maybe? That'll be a sight to see...last time I saw one airborne was at the Carlilse Airshow in 1993!)
Cheers,
Dick
