It's easy.  From Wiki we know that the Lightning had twin Rolls-Royce 
Avon 301R afterburning turbojets.  Two of those are obviously equal to 
double oodles.  So, single oodles are equal to the thrust of one Avon 
301R which is 72.77 kN on afterburner.  Unfortunately, we can't pin down 
the definition of just one oodle (vs a single oodles) since we don't 
know how many them are lumped together to form an oodles unit.  My guess 
is that it's probably oodles of them.  Got that?
