Many thanks for the Lightning. I should be able to start it tomorrow. If I finish the Bear first.
111 Sqn. rings a bell somewhere ??
Of course, The Black Arrows from RAF North Weald. Just a few miles from where I lived as a lad. The forerunners of the Red Arrows. Jet black Hawker Hunters that performed the first ever (and still unbeaten) 16 plane barrel roll.
and a 22 plane loop.
We didn't need to go to their shows (but we did) 'cos they were forever rehearsing over our area.
The Red Arrows probably could beat their record, but the just ain't got enough planes. 111 were a fully operational unit. Not just a display team.

PS: Some more for the wish list ... Canberra, Nimrod, and have you ever tried 1:300 Helicopters? Now there's a challenge, eh?
