Saudi Arabian two-seat Lightning Trainer based in the UK during the period of Saudi pilot training by RAF personnel. Seen here displayed at RAF Coltishall's 1968 Battle of Britain show. Delivered to Saudi Arabia on 11 July 1969. Widely quoted as 55-714 but that is its old serial. By this time the Lightning T.55s had already been reserialed using the new Saudi serial system, without the mark number prefix. 55-714 became 212 in the new system (still in use today), and that serial is shown on the tail and nose in Arabic script.
