Introduction
Description
In continuous front-line service with the RAF for nearly thirty years. It was the last of a rare breed: single seat, entirely British, magnificently over-powered and possessing delightful handling qualities. Because of Ian Black's status as a pilot, fellow squadron aircrew felt totally at ease with his requests for air-to-air photography. This unrivalled access has resulted in a unique collection of stunning colour photographs. In this much-awaited new edition, an additional chapter examines the 'civilian' Thunder City Lightning operation at Cape Town in South Africa, and takes the Lightning story into the 21st century.
