Lightning F.6 XS904 QRA and Twilight Run
The annual Twilight Run organised by the Lightning Preservation Group at Bruntingthorpe was held on 10 November 2012. This year the Twilight Run had a QRA added, as had previously been seen in July 2012. A Lightning scramble was re-enacted followed by a fast reheat taxi run. After F.6, XS904 had performed her run; the aircraft returned to the crowd line, where a number of static reheat engine runs took place. The scramble and the reheat runs were undertaken just as a heavy shower decided to unleash its contents over the airfield. Despite this, a superb event was held, and a big thanks must go to the LPG for organising, and I hope they do so again.
