In this entertaining technical guide/memoir, Peter Bunnett looks back on his eventful years as an Airframe Mechanic in the RAF during the 1960s and 70s, when he was fortunate enough to work on one of the most iconic jet fighter aircraft of all time – the English Electric Lightning.
Peter’s detailed recollections of the Lightning and its systems are illustrated with diagrams and accompanied by a selection of personal tales about the aircraft and those who flew it and worked on it during its years of service with the Royal Air Force.
