About the SIG

The SIG was born from a conversation at Scale Model World 2016. The reason to start the SIG was a simple one: a table full of Lightnings would look fantastic. After a number of conversations about the SIG, one common theme emerged. Why has no one done it sooner? The SIG is closely associated with the IPMS Panavia Tornado SIG, as many of the founding members are also active members of the Tornado SIG. The SIG will be an active participant of the northern English Show Circuit. 

The SIG covers all marks of the English Electric (BAC) Lightning as well as associated development airframes and prototypes. The SIG is open to modellers of all abilities. We welcome members with in depth knowledge or first hand experience of the Lightning and those with none. The ethos of the SIG is wholly, positive, no model is sub-standard and there is no such thing as a silly question.

​For model shows that the SIG will be displaying at, take a look at our events page.
