The Lightning is probably best know as the aircraft that would intercept USSR aircraft approaching UK air space, usually the Soviet Tupelov TU-95 ‘Bear’

Lightning XS904 entered RAF service in 1967 and spent most of her operational life with 11 Squadron, before being acquired by the Lightning Preservation Group where she is an important is part of their collection of historic aircraft.
