Took a lightning strike about 3 yrs ago, in a 146 with the F/O PF and still on climb. I was filling in the tech log and became aware that the F/O had ducked. This was followed by a loud bang.

F/O said the bolt hit the fuselage near the wiper post. No aircraft services lost.

After landing (we returned to departure aerodrome some 60nm behind us) Cabin Crew advised that they and pax observed a "fire ball" pass down the starboard side of the fuselage, just outside.
