1960s English Electric Lightning Interceptor Jet Tail

Swept wings and an unmistakable silhouette — the English Electric Lightning captures an age of extraordinary speed. Serving the RAF from 1960 to 1988, this Cold War fighter-interceptor climbed fast to intercept Soviet bombers. Its two vertically stacked Rolls-Royce Avon afterburning turbojets delivered Mach 2.27 — over 1,500 mph at 40,000 ft.

This aircraft's tail section brings aviation history into a new setting. Its weathered metal, rivets and bold colours lend character to a shop, office, bar or restaurant. Displayed on a wall, suspended overhead or transformed into a striking table, it can also be painted to match your interior — a piece with real presence and a story to tell.

Supplied as found, excluding fittings. Photographs shown are digital renderings/artist's impressions of suggested finishes and display options.
