I was merely trying to point out that "purists" don't move on. As an air show buff, (see you at Waddington?) as well as a Saab fan I see where you're going, the Lighting was indeed a superb aircraft, certainly speed-wise. Did it ever see action though? (I don't know) The Spitfire did, and the sound of that Merlin, well I defy anyone to say it doesn't move them! I have to admit the roar of any jet fighter on a low attack run can also be pretty stirring! Al
