A pure research aircraft built to test (among other things) the low-speed characteristics of the Lightning wing design. Made its last flight on 7 March 1968 after which it was preserved by the RAF Museum as 8005M. This photo is copyright © Chris England, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
