Historical information about BAC Lightning

The English Electric (BAC) Lightning was a legendary British interceptor fighter aircraft, designed and manufactured by English Electric, which later merged into the British Aircraft Corporation. The Lightning served in the Royal Air Force as well as the air forces of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, primarily during the Cold War period (1959–1988). This aircraft became famous for its remarkable speed (over Mach 2) and unparalleled rate of climb, which remains impressive to this day.
