I spent a while faffing about with different pictures. It's hard to decide on the best angle.

That is partly why the F-35 is called the Lightning II as just how the USAF had the P-38 Lightning, the RAF had their own Lightning before which you posted.

It's a shame there's no picture of the three flying together.

It real shows you how big the P-38 was and how compact the F-35 is.

One of these is an unwieldy brick that is out of date before it even enters service. The other is a WW2 plane.
