Aviation prints by aviation
artist Michael Rondot. Aviation print entitled 'Lightning' by Michael
Rondot, depicting a 92 Squadron English Electric Lightning taking off from
a wet runway.
Lightning by Michael Rondot. From the first flight of the prototype P.1 on 4th August 1954 to the
final flight of a Lightning in RAF service in 1988, the English Electric
Lightning earned a unique reputation in the glamorous world of single seat
fighters. Everything about the aircraft shouted for attention, from
the wild colour schemes of the 1960s to the breathtaking rotation take
offs and gloriously noisy, thunderous airshow routines that were just a
small part of its flamboyant character. For those pilots lucky
enough, and then good enough to fly it, here was a truly supersonic
fighter with an integrated radar/weapons system and twice the performance
of the legendary Hawker Hunter. It was outrageously overpowered,
always short of fuel, intimidating to master and exhilarating to fly;
small wonder then that it became an instant favourite with everyone who
ever flew, serviced or supported the Lightning.
