Conceived in a post-war period when speed, acceleration and climb rate were the key measures of a fighter, the English Electric Lightning excelled on all counts. Capable of Mach 2 in level flight, the Lightning provided the backbone of Britains front-line Cold War defence until well into the 1970s.
The Artist Proofs and Remarqued prints are also signed by Wing Commander James L Dell OBE
