This is the cockpit of Ex Saudi Air Force Lightning F53 53-675. The complete aircraft is under restoration at BCWM with work being done to a high standard. Although not fitted with engines the electrical system is functional and the opening and closing of the air brakes was demonstrated during the visit when this image was taken. This aircraft was not on public display as of the date of this image but can occasionally be viewed during tours of the BCWM restoration facility.
