BUT question anybody know what the slots were for in the wings ?

Chris,
according to a BAC Lightning Website - "Each wing featured a small sawcut about three-quarters of the way down its leading edge, intended to provide improved aileron response and prevent diversion of airflow down to the wingtips."
unusual description, 'sawcut' - I would have thought that slot, or notch would have been better

Chris,
at the moment, James is somewhere on the high seas - last I heard he was heading for the Atlantic from the Far East - that was before Christmas. I reckon he won't be home until March at least!
