A small access panel from an English Electric Lightning.

This one has the original silver paint on the outside and original yellow paint on the inside.

The panel is said to have been removed from XN 769 which was first flown in 1962 and served throughout her career with 92 squadron before serving time as gate guardian at RAF Leconfield and the Air Traffic Control Centre and RAF West Drayton.
