The site has been unlocked; no rain so far & the first silver paint has been applied to #Lightning #XS417 - hope we’re not tempting fate with this photo! 😱⛈️

They just couldn't resist!!
Given the bright sun & clear blue sky all day it was slightly ironic that they were painting the anti-dazzle panel!!

We have agonised for a long time about applying silver with rollers, but the #NAMrestoration team working on the Ashton have proved that it can be done - plus it's a genuine scheme worn by #XS417

Amongst the frenetic atmosphere of #CockpitFest25 it wasn’t un-noticed that #NAMrestoration work has started on the repaint of #Lightning #XS417 – give the successful silver application to the #Ashton a painted 56 Sqn scheme beckons!
