The '''English Electric Lightning''' is a supersonic jet [[:Category:Military aircraft|fighter]] [[aircraft]] of the Cold War era, remembered for its great speed and unpainted natural metal exterior finish. It is the only all-British Mach 2 fighter aircraft. Renowned for its capabilities as an interceptor, RAF pilots described it as "being saddled to a skyrocket". English Electric was later incorporated into the British Aircraft Corporation, later marks being developed and produced as the '''BAC Lightning'''. | The '''English Electric Lightning''' is a supersonic jet [[:Category:Military aircraft|fighter]] [[aircraft]] of the Cold War era, remembered for its great speed and unpainted natural metal exterior finish.
