I'm sure Nick will know which Mk and model we are looking at... can you imagine how cramped the side-by-side cockpit must have been?
Good job the flight time was measured in minutes, max :lol:

Top to bottom, T5, T5, T55, T5, T5, F3 (I Think), F6, T5. What a machine. Early Lightning sorties were around 20 mins but later marks were able to comfortably stand QRA. Never sat in one but I don't believe the cockpit was particularly bad to work in. Very nice indeed.
