From YouTube: The Lightning preservation group's annual event of the year, starring their three English Electric Lightnings, a pair of F.6s and an F.3.

The F.6s being working examples performed a static reheat and fast taxi for the crowd.

in 2020 the land the airfield sits on was leased to Cox Automotive, who decided to stop the Cold War jet shows from taking place in Favour of storing used Cars on the runway. All the aircraft shown here are now on Static display, but where possible kept in serviceable condition to reduce corrosion.

This subsequently means that this video shows the last ever fast taxi of the definitive lightning mark, the F.6, and leaves just T.5 XS458 at Cranfield Airport the only lightning in the UK potentially capable of fast taxi.
