| Author's remark: | Lightning XR728 sits in front of the Q-Shed at Bruntingthorpe after her twilight afterburner run. In the meantime, XS904 is being pushed back after being on static display. On 1 November 2014 the Lightning Preservation Group, based at Bruntingthorpe in the United Kingdom, held an afterburner twilight run event. During this event, Lightning XR728 was used to perform a rolling afterburner run on Bruntingthorpe's runway. After the run, the apron in front of the Q-Shed was used to provide the opportunity for long exposure night time shots. |
