English Electric Lightning trying to make a break for it. These could operate up to 70,000' in service (remarkable when you consider their vintage).

I remember seeing one at an air show over 40 years ago. It flew low then shot up in the air almost vertical like a rocket. They always looked like a pair of engines with wings bolted on!

Iconic aircraft and you have captured it well.
