Corgi 1/72 BAC Lightning F3 XP750:B Lightning Training Flight RAF Binbrook 76-79 (AA32307)

XP750 was built at Preston and first flew on 3rd January 1964, being delivered to the Air Fighting Development Squadron in June 1964. The following year it was transferred to No.111 Squadron, then No. 23 Squadron, before arriving at RAF Binbrook in April 1976 for the Lightning Training Flight coded ‘B’. It trained Lightning pilots for the resident 5 and 11 Squadrons until 19th February 1980, when it was transferred to the former itself. It was grounded in July 1982, but returned to fly with the LTF for a year from February 1984 to February 1985, coded ‘DE’. It was then used as a decoy until it was finally scrapped in September 1987.
