Here's one. As you can tell its an old one (just look at the clothes) and I am finding that my slides have deteriorated over the years, but it gives you a feel for the plane. Personally the first thing that struck me when I first saw one was how big it was. For some reason I expected it to be smaller.
I don't suppose that there is an equivalent. If there was it would be a cross between the A6 and A7. The bomb carrying capacity of the A6 with the penetration ability of the A7.

What a great thread this is!

Takes me back to the Open Days I went to as a kid - my dad was in charge of a Lightning simulator at Coltishall, and watching Lightnings, Gnats, Hunters, and Vulcans do their stuff was pretty awesome.

BTW - I could fix up some of those pics in Photoshop if you want...
