: Hi All,
: I used to travel up and down the A1 quite regularly and re
: member seeing an EE Lightning next to the south bound carr
: iageway (possibly Cambridgeshire).
Sounds like XN728, a F.2A, its quite vandalised now.
It was placed at the A1 Commercial Sales Yard in 1983. The aicraft was left behind after the yard shut down.
Very sad.
: I remember it being in a sad state but do not know if it i
: s still there or has been removed.

: Any clues?
:
: Also, had to go to Hooverspeed port at Newhaven last week
: and while waiting, went and had a cuppa at Paradise Park.
: On the why out, I caught a glimpse of a 3 bladed prop, out
: side the Maritime Museum. It looked German (possibly '109)
: but it was only a quick glimpse and cannot be too sure.
:
: Again, anybody know for certain.

: Thanks, Tony
