Taxying Tester

Empire Test Pilots School English Electric Lightning T.5 XS422 taxies out for a practice display prior to their upcoming families Day, 12th September 1985.

 

With a Chinook hovering in the distance the main runway was out of action during works there so they were using the shorter cross-runway.

 

Stored for many years, she's currently coming back to 'life' with the AALO at Stennis, Mississippi where engine runs have already taken place.
