This photograph captures the English Electric Lightning F.1A XM172 taxying for display at the 16th of June 1963 Le Bourget Air Show, representing the 56 Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The English Electric Lightning, a iconic British jet fighter, made its first flight in 1954 and was introduced into service with the RAF in 1959. Known for its sleek design and impressive performance capabilities, the Lightning was a formidable addition to the RAF's fleet. XM172, with its distinctive red and white markings, was one of several Lightning aircraft that were showcased at the Le Bourget Air Show in 1963. The image captures the moment before takeoff, with the aircraft's powerful engines roaring and the crew prepared for the flight ahead. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of aviation, showcasing the technological advancements and innovation of the time. The English Electric Lightning remained in service with the RAF until 1988, and continues to be fondly remembered as a symbol of British aviation history.
