I think that might be Duxford's Lightning old chap, enhanced and changed, which is an F2 or F2A, serial XM135, although this might just be a 'display' serial number - got the info somewhere about it's original service, not with 111 Sqn. from memory.

Are you going model all of them Jan.....?

Airframes · Feb 16, 2015

Ah, my apologies. I thought it was an 'enhanced' photo from years back, before XM135 was re-painted at Duxford. Forgot about the 'hidden' bird at Leuchars !
Still, you've now got another Lightning with '13' in its number !
