Description

English Electric Lightning – The Story Behind the Print

Michael Rondot’s portrayal of the English Electric Lightning captures 92 Squadron flagship XN778 “King Cobra” taking off from a rain-swept RAF Gütersloh in 1977.

The Lightning earned a remarkable reputation among those who flew, serviced and supported it. Its dramatic performance, vertical climbs, distinctive colour schemes and famously noisy displays became part of the character of an aircraft that defined a generation of RAF interceptor operations.

This painting focuses on the F2A and its Cold War role in Germany, combining the atmosphere of a wet RAF airfield with the power and distinctive appearance of 92 Squadron’s aircraft.

Artist’s proofs and remarque editions carry an extensive group of signatures from former Lightning personnel, including senior RAF officers and pilots associated with the aircraft. Full signature details are shown above.
