EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Royal Air Force's English Electric Lightning F.6 XR725 (msn 95208) of No. 11 Squadron, which first took to the skies on 19 February 1965 and was delivered to RAF Binbrook on 15 August 1967. The Lightning, a iconic British-designed and manufactured supersonic interceptor, is depicted in its final years of service at the village of Binbrook in Lincolnshire. The Lightning F.6 was an advanced variant of the English Electric Lightning, featuring an upgraded Avon RA.14 engine, improved radar, and an extended nose to accommodate the new equipment. XR725 was one of the last of its kind to serve with the Royal Air Force, having been retired from active duty before the introduction of more modern aircraft. The image captures the sleek and powerful design of the Lightning, with its distinctive delta wing and twin intakes, as it sits proudly on the tarmac at RAF Binbrook. The vivid colors of the aircraft's markings and the clear blue sky in the background add to the sense of nostalgia and history that surrounds this iconic aircraft. The preservation of XR725 at Binbrook Village is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Royal Air Force's English Electric Lightning program, and serves as a reminder of the important role that this aircraft played in the defense of the United Kingdom during the Cold War era.
