| Video Discription | This is the Lightning Aircraft at Norwich Aviation Museum ZF 592. The Lightning was a Mach 2 all weather supersonic fighter that kept the peace as it was an effective deterrent. No UK machines ever saw action. They officially flew to about 65,000ft but one did manage 88,000ft. The climb rate was formidable too with it getting to about 50,000ft is a minute if it wanted too, and even the later F15 wasn't quite as good according to some pilots, although I have no doubt that may be disputed by some. In supersonic tests against an F-104 Starfighter it outperformed the Lockheed plane in all but one test in which they equalled each other. It could even sustain mach 2 and keep pace easily with Concorde. Mind you it could run out of fuel in just minutes if full afterburners were used. A machine of extremes. This all British fighter is truly a plane that Britain can be proud of. This one has a Firestreak heat-seek missile. Later on Red Tops were used.
