History of the BAC EE Lightning aircraft:
The BAC English Electric Lightning is a British supersonic interceptor fighter, primarily used by the Royal Air Force from the late 1950s until the mid-1980s. The Lightning was regarded as one of the fastest fighters of the Cold War era. It mainly served in Great Britain, but was also used by the air forces of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The Lightnings took part in round-the-clock air defense readiness missions, especially during the Cold War period.
