That Lightning makes me get rather rigid

I'll try and copy this at work by hanging an airfix kit in the kitchen....

Yep.

A shame they can't employ some ex-English Electric engineers to re-spec the cable recoil spring on my Dyson. At least it might have an excess of power rather than not quite enough to deal with the last 100mm of cable.

Wasn't until I saw one close up at Tangmere that I realised just what a size the Lightning was. Really surprised me.

Got to love a company that does things to inspire its employees "because its just cool"

[ColinM50]

So you pop in for a pint of White Lighting before work?

[Kuroblack350]

Where is that exactly? It looks like Frimley, but it's been a while since I was there

Our Lightning stands outside, still looking cool (BAE Systems Warton)

After my Euromillons win, I intend to do the same (in the west wing atrium you understand ) very lucky, what a fantastic and inspirational thing to see when getting a coffee.

I gather it's at a vacuum cleaner factory.

Factory? I thought these days they made them in timbukthree?

The phrase "How the mighty are fallen" springs to mind when I see it hanging there.

I grew up in Norfolk and the road to Norwich ran parallel to the runway at RAF Coltishall. It was awesome to watch the Lightnings take off - off the runway, wheels up, point the nose at the sky and off they went. Fabulous things - 2 bloody great engines with a chair strapped to the front.
