On 25th November 1957 XA847 became the first British aircraft to exceed Mach 2 and went on to have a career at Boscombe Down testing various Lightning upgrades. Displayed at the RAF Museum from 1972, this significant airframe, having been replaced in the museum by a Lightning F.6, was unbelievably put up for tender in 1988 and came close to being scrapped. Rescued by a private individual and put into storage, it was re-assembled for display at Farnborough 1994 and also appeared at RIAT the following year. It has since gone back into storage with an owner in Kettleburgh Suffolk.

The Castle Motors "gate guardian" since 1989. After arrival at Castle Motors it had been painted in full 111 Squadron markings, but this was very short-lived due to an apparent conflict with the Inland Revenue regarding qualification for tax relief. It was then repainted in the Castle Motors house colours, originally with a red spine and fin/rudder as seen here, which was later replaced with the current yellow/black.

First flown in October 1960, XM172 joined 56 Sqdn at RAF Wattisham and when the unit formed the 'Firebirds' display team, this was one of their aircraft. A final flight was made to Coltishall in June 1974, where it was prepared for gate guard duties, joining Spitfire SL542. Initially carrying 145 Sqdn (226 OCU) marks as operated till 1970, it was later painted in 226's own red/white colours of the mid-1960s. Removed to Booker in 1989, the Lightning was bought by a private owner at Spark Bridge in 2006
