Never saw an F2/F2A with wing tanks so no pics I'm afraid. The reason for the over wing tanks was that there was no room to put them under the wing. I don't think the Lightning was cleared for combat while carrying them so they were a rare sight at the best of times.

It wasn't a suggestion, merely an observation. I'm sure Leconfield doesn't have a slope like that. Levelling an image isn't that difficult and would make it look a whole lot better - its still a great image though.![]()
