From barn to legend: Project P1B begins

Hello! First things first: if you've bought the book, thank you... By purchasing Lightning Volume IV: A tribute to the P1B, you’ve already played a part in helping us preserve XA847 - the prototype that became a legend.

Now we’d like to take you even further behind the scenes. Attached (bottom) is the very first issue of P1B Lightning, our new monthly newsletter from the Callsign Collective.

Inside you’ll find:

• Updates from the workshop as restoration begins
• A closer look at XA847’s unique history
• Insights from the team as we hunt down rare parts and piece her story back together

This is the start of a new chapter - one we’ll be sharing with you every month until the project’s completion in September 2026.

And soon, we’ll be opening subscriptions to the Callsign Collective, giving members the chance to receive the full monthly newsletter & purchase limited-edition items. More details to follow…

For now, we hope you enjoy the first issue.

Thank you once again for being part of the journey. Together, we’ll bring XA847 back into the light.
