The English Electric Lightning has the distinction of being the only all-British supersonic jet Fighter/Interceptor and was at the heart of the UK’s front line air defences for more than 25 years. As its name suggests, the Lightning was built for speed – pilots marvelled at its brutal power and loved its astounding performance, easy handling and phenomenal rate of climb.

The Lightning F.6 was the pinnacle of the breed, boasting higher speeds and capable of carrying more fuel than earlier variants. This F.6 collection captures perfectly the awesome presence of this astonishing aircraft, with a highly detailed virtual cockpit, accurate animations and a host of special effects. The first and last purely British-built supersonic Fighter and Interceptor, this hugely powerful aircraft was a potent symbol of the Cold War and was designed to be on high readiness to launch at a few minutes’ notice.
