XS458 fired up

I took a trip to Luton and Cranfield on March 12th with my friend Paul. We headed to Cranfield at just the right time because as we arrived they were preparing the English Electric Lightning XS458 for an engine test run. I missed the afterburner sadly as I was stuffing my face with a cheese sandwich!
Many thanks to Russel Carpenter for approaching us all at the fence and asking if we had a nice time.
