Built for the Royal Saudi Air Force (as 53-675), she was bought back to BAC in the 1980s in a unsuccessful attempt to sell her on to the Austrians. Sold to a private owner, then to Marine Salvage in Portsmouth, then back to BAC (now BAe) in 2000. After a four year restoration, she's now one of the most pristine Lightnings anywhere in the world.
