Coming soon

The story of XA847 — the very first English Electric Lightning prototype — is one worth telling. Hidden for decades in a Suffolk barn, this extraordinary aircraft is finally being brought back into the light.

The P1B Lightning newsletter will chart the progress of her restoration, month by month, from barn find to polished display. Alongside updates from the workshop, you’ll also find stories from the Lightning’s past, exclusive insights from the team, and soon, opportunities to get even closer through limited-edition items.

If you’ve already read Lightning Volume 4: A Tribute to the P1B, you’ll know just how important this project is - (and if you haven't you can purchase it here). Now, through the Callsign Collective, you can continue the journey with us and be part of preserving an icon of British aviation history.
