Crash after Lightning Strikes

The two occasions I can certainly recall lightning being a direct cause of a crash were a glider at Dunstable Downs and a Puma in the North Sea. Both were as a result of lightning striking and destroying composite materials and both a re well reported on the AAIB site.
