Lightning F.6 XS936 at Castle Motors, 7th October 2022; Jake Wallace
XS936 first took to the air on the 31st of May 1967, and was delivered initially to 60 MU. She entered service with 23 Squadron, and also served with the 11 and 5 Squadrons and the LTF throughout her life, before finishing her active career with 5 Squadron.
The airframe was brought by Roy Flood in 1988 when put up for disposal. Roy transported XS936 to Castle Motors in Liskeard, Cornwall, where she was mounted in the forecourt at Castle Motors. Over the years, XS936 has been treated to several repaints, most recently being 2018, in an overall silver colour with a black spine and tail. Unfortunately, she is just a shell, but otherwise, the airframe itself is still in a rather good condition - all the repaints have certainly helped with this!
