Well that Sure brought back memories of RAF Gutersloh in the old days Pity computer speakers don't do justice to the NOISE of 2 lightnings on reheat.

Heres to the next 21

A few photos from me! Having taken many pictures of the CWJ's and the Lightnings in the past, I left the camera in the car until the pairs demo at the end of the day. Having not seen '728 run before, I make no apologies for concentrating on her...

728 ready for action

904 joins her sister

Image

Imminent thunder
Image

Streamed pair (post re-heat due to arms and elbows in the way!)
Image

Image

Heros return
Image

728 back where she belongs
Image

Stars of the show

Thank you LPG - here's to many more!

Thanks to all concerned - a brilliant day!

Andy...Best you start training up your little helper then (He is already a dab hand at alot of things already). You need some young blood in the LPG to start training then.

Wasn't your fault mate ;) If I had leaned 3cm nearer the crowd line I think my eardrums would have imploded anyway =))

I've just been looking at all the photo's everyone's posted on here - 904 and 728 coming back down the runway with their lights on..... simply stunning girls aren't they!!! That sight just took my breath away. It's something I didn't think I'd see in my lifetime. But, through the sheer hard work and determination of the LPG guys I've seen it!

Judging by the hard work maybe we'll get to see it again - who knows ;) Andy will start shaking again when he reads this :)) (Sorry fella!)

The LPG guys have achieved an astounding amount! And so very quietly too......... ;)

Well done guys :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
