Here is an RAF Lightning. Kit is the old Airfix in 1/72. Not a bad kit for its age.

Very nice! though correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in their infinite wisdom the RAF ordered the Lightning without the turbos then rejected it because it didn't perform....
 
Yep, as I mentioned, there were two, but not strictly RAF. They were evaluated by the A&AEE at Boscombe Down, and rejected. Had they had turbos, things might have been slightly different.
