EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the RAF Lightning F Mk. 6 XS903, a formidable aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF) that once graced the skies during the 1980s and 1990s. The image captures XS903, call sign BE of No. 11 Squadron RAF, as it was stationed at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose. The BAC Lightning F Mk. 6, a British-designed and manufactured twin-engine, supersonic interceptor, was a significant addition to the RAF's fleet during the Cold War era. Its advanced capabilities made it a valuable asset in securing the UK's airspace. The photograph, taken in the late 1980s or early 1990s, depicts XS903 in its striking RAF livery as it sits on the tarmac at Culdrose. The airbase, located in Cornwall, was used by the RAF for various purposes, including the training of helicopter crews and the operation of maritime patrol aircraft. The presence of the Lightning F Mk. 6 at Culdrose indicates that it may have been involved in training exercises or other operational duties. The BAC Lightning F Mk. 6 served with several RAF squadrons, including No. 11, which was based at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire. The squadron was known for its expertise in the interception and defense of enemy aircraft. The Lightning F Mk. 6, with its impressive speed and maneuverability, was an ideal choice for such a role. This photograph is a testament to the rich aviation history of the RAF and serves as a reminder of the important role that the Lightning F Mk. 6 played in securing the skies of the United Kingdom during the Cold War era.
