Luke Metcalf, assisted by his Father Paul, flying this in true scale style at the BMFA Power Nationals 2017. Lightning by name and he flies it like Lightning. I had trouble keeping up with my camcorder. Full after burners and tight turns. TERRIFIC !

A beautiful model and a first rate aircraft from when we could design and build first rate aircraft.

The Typhoon of today is nothing to sniff about either mind you.

Thanks for sharing Dominic.
