2 T BIRDS!!!! SUPERB I was due to have a flight at Thunder City South Africa in XS451 - the last airworthy T5. Sadly the aircraft and pilot, Dave Stock, were lost at an air display, in 2009. Thunder city had to close due to poor maintenance - I would have gladly moved over there to SA to help - Im an ex RAF aircraft tech!

Stunning video 🤩 Emotional experience to see XS459 and XS 416 returning to their spiritual home 🥰😭 What a phenomenal rescue by His Heritage Transport & Logistics. And to know these beautiful birds are now undercover and in the process of restoration is absolutely wonderful 🙌❤️

I never served in the RAF nevermind served at Binbrook but being a Lightning nut since I was a kid I can only imagine how proud and thrilled all those involved in this must be feeling. I have a piece of Binbrook in my heart that stems from my childhood fascination (even though the first time I went there I was 30!) All those old Binbrookians watching this fabulous video must be chuffed to bits. Bravo

Wonderful to see these old birds being well cared for. I served at 60MU RAF Leconfield as a supplier, my job was to source parts for the 60 day turnaround major servicing of all the Lightening fleet over several years. I’m sure I recall these tail numbers being worked on. Thanks for the memories.

Heartwarming to see these two Queens of the Sky are back home to a bit of TLC. Well done everyone, I first saw a Lightning fly in 1962 at an airshow and was awestruck. That feeling has never left me. My dad was RAF in WWII on Halifax's, he got his wings but was BA, Nav and Radio Op from '42 to '46.

Brings back memories of seeing these at virtually ground level running parallel along the East coast at speed! An awesome aircraft. 😉

Well done these icons of British Aviation that tore the sky apart for many years deserve to be preserved.

My first station after training was RAF Binbrook 1974 to 1975 with 5 and 11 sqns were there, fell in love with Lightning's just a brilliant aircraft had a great time at Binbrook and some wonderful memories, sadly a few years later had to watch a lightning in trouble at RAF Valley and having to be dumped into the Irish sea...very sad day.

What a privilege to be involved with these aircraft and the excitement and enthusiasm they are bringing to the Lightning community. The memories that are flooding back within the pilots, maintenance crews, and all associated with RAF Binbrook (Lightning Town) are wonderful to hear.

Amazing to see 416 join our lady from Fenland Aviation Museum. We definitely made the right decision to let her go back to where she belongs and get the love an attention she needs.

My Father who was in the RAF worked mainly on the Gloster Meteor but I always remember him telling me about the EE Lightening and how much of a awesome beast it was and way ahead of its time.
