An experimental P1A prototype supersonic interceptor aircraft which eventually became the English Electric / British Aircraft Corporation "Lightning". Photographed at the Museum Of Science and Industry (M.O.S.I.) in Manchester, North-West England. "The official ceiling of the Lightning was secret. In 1962 Fighter Command organised interception trials on Lockheed U-2s at heights of around 60,000–65,000 ft. In order to avoid risking the U-2 the Lightning was not permitted closer than 5,000 ft and could not fly in front of the U-2. The sorties proved that successful intercepts could be made at up to 65,000 ft. In 1984 during a NATO exercise, Flight Lieutenant Mike Hale intercepted a U-2 at a height which they had considered to be safe (thought to be 66,000 feet). Records show that Hale climbed to 88,000 ft in his Lightning".

The Avro 707 was a British experimental aircraft which first flew in 1949. It was built to test the tailless, thick delta wing configuration chosen for the Avro 698 jet bomber, later named "Vulcan". Aerodynamically, the Avro 707 was a 1/3 - scale version of the famous Vulcan "V bomber" and it continued to be used for other research both in the UK and Australia until it was "retired" in 1967.
