These walk-around photos were taken at the RAF Museum London in Hendon in 2019. They show an English Electric Lightning F.6, serial XS925, displayed in the markings of No. 11 Squadron — the last operational Lightning squadron in RAF service. The Lightning was Britain's only home-designed Mach 2 capable fighter and remains one of the most extraordinary aircraft ever built, famous for its near-vertical climbs, ear-splitting performance and the unique arrangement of two Rolls-Royce Avon turbojets stacked vertically within the fuselage. Pilots described flying it as being saddled to a skyrocket. The F.6 was the definitive RAF variant, featuring a larger ventral fuel tank and overwing ferry tanks to extend its notoriously short range, along with two ADEN cannon and Firestreak or Red Top air-to-air missiles. XS925 first flew on 26 January 1967 and spent its entire career at RAF Binbrook with Nos. 5 and 11 Squadrons, the two units that operated the Lightning to the end. It made its final flight on 21 July 1987, was briefly displayed at the Binbrook Open Day that August, and was then taken by road to Hendon later that year. It has been on public display since 1988, wearing the markings of No. 11 Squadron — the last unit to fly the Lightning operationally before the type was withdrawn from RAF service.
