Few aircraft inspire devotion quite like the English Electric Lightning.
Britain's only home-grown supersonic interceptor, it could climb to 36,000 feet in under three minutes and leave Cold War adversaries questioning what they had seen.
From Quick Reaction Alert duties intercepting Soviet bombers over the North Sea, to its stacked Rolls-Royce Avon engines and unmistakable arrowhead silhouette, the Lightning earned a reputation that has only grown louder in the years since retirement.
A piece for enthusiasts who hold British Cold War aviation in the highest regard, and understand exactly why this particular jet refuses to fade from memory.
NOTE: The exact placement of the design may vary from the images due to scaling for different t-shirt sizes and variations in the printing process.
