Aircraft - English Electric Lightning.

A new collector print by Gerald Coulson published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the only Mach Two fighter designed and built in Britain – the awesome English Electric Lightning.

Gerald Coulson’s dramatic painting Bolt for the Blue, published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first flight of the Lightning, captures the very essence of this formidable fighter.

Seen climbing out of RAF Wattisham, a Lightning F.3 of Treble One Squadron scrambles to intercept an unidentified intruder plotted on the RAF’s early warning radar. Almost certainly it will be Russian, probably he will be escorted out of harms way, but the interceptor is armed with a pair of air-to-air missiles just in case.

A superb collector print for all who remember one of the greatest British fighters ever built.
