Thanks Naki......thought i should come out of the clouds....the screens were just getting to gray. Wouldn't it be great to get a couple flying again in the UK....as much a landmark as the Vulcan. I didn't know the SA ones were for sale........same guy who has the Bucc ?

Further read on the Lightning , on decommission from the RAF , Australian Millionaire Arnold Glass brought six only to sell in the early 1990s , think that guy got himself killed flying a P-51 .
