The Lightning never really looked its best in camo so here is a well-known example in its original 11 Sqdn colours. XR724 was later allocated to BAe at Warton as chase aircraft in Tornado radar development trials and was then flown into storage at Shawbury. Tendered the by MoD in 1991, it was purchased by the Lightning Association and flown to Binbrook on 23.7.92 where attempts to restore the airframe and keep it in running condition have been frustrated by the disposal of the airfield and accommodation issues
