My Father was one of the early pioneers of in flight refuelling - he made his first contact in 1964 - by coincidence he is in Lightning XR713 in this shot taken around 1965 - it still survives at Bruntingthorpe and I had the pleasure to fly it a few times in 1986 - 21 years later

RAF English Electric Canberra B Mk.2,
The English Electric Canberra B.2 was the first production variant of a twin-engine, turbojet powered light bomber.
This particular Canberra, WK163, spent its entire career as a research test bed. Photographed here on 28 August 1957 it reached an altitude of 70,308 feet over southern England. This set a new Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Record for altitude. The Canberra was being used to test Napier’s Double Scorpion NSc D1-2 rocket engine, which was used to drive the aircraft far beyond its normal service ceiling of 48,000 feet.
