    They are having taxi runs of some of their old jet aeroplanes... including the Lightnings, Comet, Hunter and several others.
    Apparently they give the Lightnings full afterburn down the runway then use the parachutes to stop them. Woohooooooooo.... kin brill, eh !
    Do you remember the Finningley air shows?
