The BAC Lightning, a marvel of British engineering, was the UK's first and only supersonic fighter capable of Mach 2. Operational from the late 1950s until 1988, this aircraft was a symbol of speed, power, and agility. Designed by the British Aircraft Corporation, it was renowned for its exceptional climb rate, reaching altitudes where the sky turns black and the curvature of the Earth becomes visible. The Lightning was primarily used by the Royal Air Force, with variants also serving in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Its role varied from interceptor to high-altitude reconnaissance, showcasing its versatility. The Lightning is remembered for its distinctive over-under twin-engine configuration, which contributed to its unique silhouette and incredible performance. It left a legacy as a Cold War icon, defending the UK's skies with unmatched speed and capability.
