English Electric Lightning at former RAF Binbrook: aerial 2023 English Electric Lightning F.6 XR724, now at former RAF Binbrook, was the first to be retired of the five Lightnings allocated by the MoD to British Aerospace at Warton as chase aircraft in the Tornado Foxhunter radar development trials. Her Fatigue Index (FI) was coming perilously close to zero, and so she was flown to RAF Shawbury for storage while she still had some FI left on the airframe. Once below zero she would not have been able to fly again under any circumstances.

Romano-British Settlement Site, Swinhope: aerial 2022 (1) Cropmarks of a rectilinear complex located on a steeply sloping Wolds valley spur, first recorded as faint germination marks in bare soil in the winter of 1986. Photographs during the summer of 1991 in a ripening cereal crop of the main complex produced additional information which lends weight to the original suggestion that the site represents a Romano-British villa complex. Romano-British potsherds are recorded from the field.
