An unusual sight in a farmer's field near the village of Over Dinsdale south of Teesside Airport, on the Yorkshire side of the River Tees.  XR718 Lightning F3 by Dan Sprague, on Flickr |

An extract from one of Viscount's many tomes,
"Lightning F.3 XR718/BK1 in 11 Sqdn markings was at the 1984 Speke Air Display. It parked on the south airfield (the air show being on the north airfield). The railings are right for those beside the 09/27 runway on the south airfield at the time. As there are no 1984 Air Display photos in the collection, fancy this could have been of the aircraft arriving on the Saturday (main Air Display was on the Sunday)."

I wonder if it was a dedicated display aircraft for 1984? The last time I saw it was at the Alconbury Air Tattoo in July of that year.
