RAF NEWTON

[LM47]

The Lightning was XS451 which left Binbrook in 1975/76 for St Athan and then left for Newton.

As for its eventual fate of going to Cranfield Plymouth etc then becoming a flier with Thunder City the less said the better

ASN report for XX623:

The reports says "It was later sold for spares use to a private owner who operates a former Guyana Air Force Bulldog in Wiltshire. Remains currently (April 2003) stored at Bourne Park, Hampshire"

Me thinks that it should read "Ghana Air Force" !
