I'd a lightning strike on the approach. One of the biggest bangs I've heard (and I'm ex artillery - TA REME LAD attached) It's the one Arthur Whitlock refers to in 'Behind the Cockpit Door' - I was his FO. We'd negligible damage.
Saw an RAF Hastings with a little puncture in the nose and a fist size hole in the tail. ooh - er
p.s. I wasn't the one Arthur said wanted to step into his shoes, I think it was the P3 - at least that's what he said when I asked him
