But, wasn't your British Lightning named after our first USA Lightning?

It's a clever name, because on our side of the Pond we can claim that it's
named after the English Electric Lightning. So everybody's happy... quite
unusual.

Here I am with the Lightening family (Grandpa P-38 and the new guy F-35).
A friend is taking my picture with my "real" camera and I'm holding my
old back-up Digital Rebel. It was a fine reunion even though we didn't
get to see either aircraft fly that day.
