Description

A supersonic guardian of the Far East Air Force. This impressive 1:48 scale diecast model represents English Electric Lightning F.Mk 6 XS927, serving with the legendary No.74 "Tigers" Squadron at RAF Tengah, Singapore, in 1969. As the ultimate incarnation of Britain's only indigenous supersonic fighter, this specific airframe made its maiden flight in 1967 under celebrated test pilot Roland Beamont before joining the Tigers for their ferry flight to Southeast Asia, supported by a massive fleet of seventeen Victor tankers.

This large-scale Aviation Archive release is a premier choice for Cold War enthusiasts and collectors of iconic British jet aviation. Ideal for a standalone display or as a centerpiece for a RAF squadron collection, it perfectly captures the blistering performance and unique "stacked engine" profile of the Lightning during the peak of its frontline service in Singapore.
