English Electric Lightning F.Mk 6 Diecast Model
RAF No.5 Sqn, XS903, RAF Binbrook, England, 1984
Limited Edition No 1391 0f 1500
Pieces Worldwide1:72 Scale Length WidthEnglish Electric Lightning F.Mk 6 9.25" 5.75"The F6 was an improved, longer range version of the F3 interceptor fighter and was one of the final variants of the excellent and iconic BAC Lightning. Noted for its exceptional speed, endurance and weapons carrying capability, the Lightning will always be remembered as a spectacular and potent interceptor; defending the RAF’s airspace against Soviet intrusions throughout the height of the Cold War. Able to climb faster than anything else in the skies, the Lightning was a fearsome machine and not for the faint hearted to fly. Gaining the Lightning with its move to RAF Binbrook in 1965, 5 Squadron would keep its Lightning’s until their replacement with Tornado F3s in 1987. This particular machine still exists, though preserved in a different colour scheme. The shark’s mouth was painted on during gunnery exercises and later removed.

1:144 Scale Diecast Metal Model Airplane
Douglas DC-3 Gooney Bird
Air Atlantique, G-AMPZ
Designed to meet an American Airlines requirement for an enlarged version of the DC-2, the DC-3 was first flown on December 17th, 1935. Capable of carrying 24 passengers at a cruising speed of 180 mph, the DC-3's speed and long range revolutionized commercial air travel in the 1930s and 40s, when it carried 90 percent of the world's air travelers. Early DC-3s used Wright R-1820 Cyclone engines, but Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp Radials were fitted to later versions; these engines had better single engine performance and allowed the DC-3 to fly at higher altitudes.
Air Atlantique was an airline based at Coventry Airport operating a number of classic aircraft, both for passenger operation and for cargo transportation. They operated both the Douglas DC-3 and Douglas DC-6 but did also have a few aircraft on wet lease such as some ATR-42s and ATR-72s. Many of their remaining classic aircraft were donated to Classic Flight where they were displayed at airshows.
