peter197 32 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Dave, Not doubting that the cockpit would be different. I just think the T.55 would be interesting given that it has such a large ventral tank. T.4 will be cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that Midland Air Museum have a T.55 if my memory serves me well.. Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware those overwing Matra fuel packs although real , were just jury rigged for the airshow ,.... trying to drum up some interest to fund development . I dont believe they were ever trialled , let alone released for service.........unless you know different ! @ Cameron , I doubt the museums would be much use,.Even if the cockpit isn't stripped out they dont let you climb all over them let alone open the canopy (no power or hyd) D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCameronPerson 48 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Would this be any help ? Its the F.53 cockpit at Tangmere but I imagine armament selectors would be the same as they were in the T55. The details a bit hard to pick up zoomed in but maybe you'd be able to make heads and tails of it better than me https://www.haraldjoergens.com/panoramas/lightning/ Cameron.

Eivin Stenso 17 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Heres a couple of the more experimantal ones. Taken at night and at the altitudes where the Lightning thrives. Notice the curvature Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. I like to climb to the Tropopause and then build up as much speed as possible, then trade speed for altitude (zoom) to get to the really high altitudes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
