A Leuchars Lightning Lassoos a Lookie-Loo

 Say that ten times fast...

In today's installment of TWW we bring you a purty pikshur showing an English Electric Lightning operated by 23 Squadron of the Royal Air Force during an interception of a Russkie Tu-95 'Bear' that came'a snoopin'. We don't have an exact date for this particular meeting, but 23 Squadron, then based at RAF Leuchars, flew the Lightning from 1964 to 1975, so that narrows things down some. More digging on the net would undoubtedly yield something more precise, but your blogmeister is a bit short on time at the moment, so y'all'll hafta grab your own cyber-shovels. Have fun...
