English Electric Lightning?
No. The Nazis had one, but it didn't come into full ops until after the war ended?
A Me.-something - not 109!

We don't always say the Eng Elec. Lightning - usually the 'Lightning', as is the 'Lanc' for the Lancaster Bomber, or the 'Spit' for the Spitfire.................
So, pressuming my answer is accepted -

I have to admit I have never heared of the deep fried Mars bar, but then I have lived a fairly sheltered life. Can't wait to hear the answer. Regards.

Thinking about it, it dosn't make a lot of sense, if you fried a chocolate coated mars bar it would surely melt and become something like a fried egg. I can remember many moons ago buying one in the NAFFI In Khormaksar and walking to the plane mars in hand in about 100 deg F and it melted by the time I reached the aircraft.

The Carron Fish & Chip Shop in Allardice Street, Stonehaven (about 15 miles on the coast south of Aberdeen)
recently been sold by Tom Wilson, now retired.
The shop gained world-wide fame in 1992 when it started deep-frying Mars Bars.
Also tried Clootie Dumpling in batter.
