Actually I'm not sure that is a Whiff. XN778 was a Lightning F2, later converted to one of the green F2As and it served with both 19 and 92 Sqdns in the mid '70s. But before its conversion it was one of the chase aircraft for the TSR2, so that superb painting maybe a depiction of such a trial flight.

'778 was the Commander's aircraft on 19 Sqdn. and featured on a Modeldecal sheet.

Would it have been armed while acting as a chase plane?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Ooooooh, I LIKE that!  :thumbsup:

Have to agree  :thumbsup:

The Lightning/TSR 2 combo is stunning as well
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Possibly, yes. It was found the Lightning's aerodynamics were better with the Firestreaks than without.

Harro just beat me to it.  :thumbsup:

But perhaps they'd have used drill rounds for those occasions.
