Lightning F.3
English Electric Lightning F.3 XR 713 in the colours of Treble One Squadron gracing the static aircraft park at the 2013 RAF Leuchars airshow.
The long term preservation of this classic 60s Interceptor was secured last year when the Lightning Preservation Group, completed the mammoth task of dismantling and roading 713 to Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire in May 2015, complementing that groups two other taxiable Lightning F.6s XR 728 and XS 904.
There is superb article by Max Waldron in the Feb edition of Flypast magazine detailing the task of moving XR 713 south.
