Just making my intention clear with the Lightning GB. Haven`t even bought the kit yet...! Lightning F.1 XM141 flown by Flt Lt Jim Burns was flying number four in the box and it was a high speed flypast towards the airfield probably at 500/550knots. Jim got high and close into the jet wash of the lead aircraft when the incident occurred and the tail seperated. Fortunately the aircraft remained controllable and Jim (using aileron control) landed it safely at Colt. English Electric's conclusion was that it was the effects of aerodynamic pressure which had built up during the course of the four aircraft's high speed low level manoeuvre which had exposed a structural weakness and caused the rudder and part of the fin to sheer off. ![]() I`m looking forward to this.

Nowt wrong here, you have captured the moment exceedingly well, slight omission though, where's the brown stuff trickling from the cockpit? |

The final display really captures that moment in time.

TC, you're doing yourself no favours here. With each of your ideas raising the bar higher, my question is "Whatever next?". This model of a unique event will bring back a few memories when former 74 Squadron people view it, and it's very well executed (particularly that tail debris!). Looking forward to the future fruits of your fertile imagination.
