English Electric Lightning F.6 XS933 "AJ" from 5 Squadron, RAF Binbrook, taxis to STCAAME from runway 32 at RAF Valley, following a successful QRA live Red Top firing slot over Aberporth Ranges, August 1987.
Lightning F.6 XS933 'AJ' from 5 Squadron at Binbrook taxies off RWY 32 at Valley, following a QRA scramble from Binbrook to fire a Red Top missile at a flown target over Cardigan Bay missile range. The Red Top must have launched successfully, as the empty starboard missile attachment shoe bears witness. This was one of many visits by 5 Squadron Lightnings to Valley during their disbandment period, September 1987. XS933 had just another month to go, its final flight being on 30th October. Only its cockpit is now known to exist.
