Former Royal Air Force English Electric Lightning F.3 XR713/C on display outside Bruntingthorpe's LPG 'QRA' sheds during the 2018 'Lightning Storm' event
Once on charge at RAF Leuchars and used as 'Treble One' Squadron's 'Gate Guard', when the RAF left Leuchars the LPG acquired her
Engineless she compliments their other 'working' Lightnings
On the day '713' was in dual marks - No.111 'Tremblers' and newly applied No.56 'Firebirds' colours on her starboard side along with spoof serial - XR718 and coded 'C'
Sadly, since the airfield was sold, the LPG is now limited to a small fenced enclave around their QRA Sheds.
The two F.6 'runners' being reduced to engine runs only as their spectacular 'Fast Taxi' dashes down Brunter's huge runway are now consigned to history
