Well I know neither of them are a lightning, but is one a thunderbolt?
According to this those below are Lockheed P38 lightning, Rich.
And thunderbolt brought this up for me...

Yep, the one behind is a Lightening and the one in front is a Thunderbolt.
Ok, not my strongest subject as you can see but I was thinking the English Electric Lightning, 1960s technology that could catch up and overtake concord and travel to the edge space.
This plane has, since I first saw it, captured my imagination. Fabulous.

And I believe it still holds the climb to altitude record, nothing has beaten it.
They were built to catch Russian nuclear bombers and had to be able to intercept them very quickly as the window from warning time to arrival was very short.
Amazing planes. There is one at Tangmere, not far from me. I'm glad I didn't have to pay the whole fuel bill, it could empty its tanks in 20 minutes at full tilt I believe.

Thunderbolt ???
I thought that was an A10 "Warthog" - basically a 20mm "Vulcan Cannon" with wings.
Its a Gatling gun that fires 100 20mm shells per second -
- An awesome tank destroyer (and anything else that gets in its way).From the cockpit you just see a solid beam of white light with a permanent explosion on the end

A while ago my wife and I went to Krakow for a few days, we treated ourselves to a suite in the hotel which had three rooms and an ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi and she sneaked in with a camera while I was having a soak.

What has been seen cannot be un-seen.

What did you do that for Chas?
Revenge I guess, for my post of my missus on the beach...

Maybe it was, but it came as a hell of shock Rich TBH, this is a family show!
Chas will understand
Ah well now I was referring to your photo of Aura and little Anna. There's gals that would give anything to have the figure and the confidence to wear a bikini after having kids in their 40s and Aura clearly has both in spades.Maybe it was, but it came as a hell of shock Rich TBH, this is a family show!
Chas will understand
Chas, well, let's just say we may need counselling…
Maybe that could be the first entry in the alternative 'Naked' landcruiser club calendar?
