Scramble scramble scramble - QRA at Brunty

[DamienB]

A fantastic day out at Brunty with the Lightning Preservation Group re-enacting a QRA scramble with Lightning F.6 XS904. Brilliantly done, brilliantly organised. What a magnificent achievement to have kept a pair of Lightnings in running order, rebuilt a genuine Q-shed to house them in, and then have the know-how and experience to safely demonstrate a part of the aircraft's real job when it was protecting UK airspace for just about the entire length of the Cold War. Bravo.

And of course the "also rans"... Can't say you didn't get value for money for your 20 quid!!

Then it was time for XS904 to once again bring back to life the accumulated roaring of a million dead dinosaurs. With fire.









Back to bed...
