It's A Small World

The Aerodrome,

The Model Village. Westcliff Lodge,

Ramsgate, Kent.

It's all very 30's at the art deco aerodrome, including the health and safety standards which allow passengers to simply ramble over to the nearest airliner and clamber on, probably clutching lit cigarettes and half empty bottles of Beefeater Gin. I like the jet in the foreground being armed by the two mechanics in overalls. It's clearly on standby to protect the village against the little kid in the background currently deciding whether to look, touch or utterly destroy. 

Take Your Own Thunder With You

'Want to fly a Lightning? Want to occupy the single seat in the single seater,

all leather, night and day, high flying, supersonic, supernormal Lightning?'

Jet age, jazz poetry, advertising hip. The RAF was clearly pretty happening in 1960, and the English Electric Lightning was the living end, Daddio.

Many Details Of Its Performance Are Secret

'The Javelin is Fighter Command's first aircraft specifically designed
to seek out and destroy enemy bombers by night or day in good weather or bad...'

In other words, relax Britain, the RAF have got Armageddon covered. Well, some of the local bits.
