English Electric Lightning.
Discussion
I think I have spotted the cockpit section to a Lightning sat in a farm yard in cornwall, I have done a bit of googling to see what it is and have come up with the number XR747.
I would like to know a bit more about it and who operated it and from where, does anyone here know more about it ?
If i can track the farm owner down i will ask him if i can take a few pictures.

Looks like it was a project too far.
