Description

A supersonic legend from the "Last Lightning Show." This 1:48 scale diecast model captures English Electric Lightning F.Mk 6 XS904, serving with No.11 Squadron at RAF Binbrook in August 1987. A true veteran of the Cold War, this aircraft participated in the spectacular nine-ship formation during the Lightning's final official RAF display. XS904 was later delivered to Bruntingthorpe by Deputy Chief Test Pilot Peter Orme, marking the historic final military flight of the type, and remains preserved today by the Lightning Preservation Group.

This large-scale Aviation Archive model is a premier centerpiece for collectors of British jet aviation and Cold War interceptors. Ideal for a dedicated RAF display, it showcases the iconic camouflaged finish and stacked-engine profile of Britain’s only indigenous supersonic fighter during its emotional final year of frontline service.
