The Electric Lightning was the first, and last, all-British supersonic fighter. It has been described as the, "Epitome of British fighter design - short on fuel but immensely powerful".
Developed to meet a 1947 requirement for a new fighter, the first test model (the P.1) flew in 1954. From there the design went through numerous changes (and designations).  The RAF received their first Lightning's to try out (the F.1) in 1959 (by which time the plane was able to fly at Mach 2) and by 1960 one squadron was equipped with the short-range super-sonic fighter. The Lightning's fuel capacity was so limited that interception missions were almost limited to the area of the airfield!

Next, two more RAF squadrons were equipped with the F.1A which had an in-flight re-fuelling probe. Variable afterburners made their appearance in the F.2 variant, which was followed by the F.3. The F.3 had some more major changes - improved AI-23B radar, more powerful Avon engines, a larger square-topped fin, cannon armament removed, Red Top missile capability and auxiliary over-wing fuel tanks.
During their time in the RAF, Lightning's wowed airs show audiences in the UK flying in formation as many as nine aircraft piloted by the 74th Squadron aerobatics team called "The Tigers". In 1963, 56th squadron also formed an aerobatics team called "The Firebird" and painted their aircraft in flamboyant red and white markings which endeared them to air show-goers throughout Europe.
