During a Lightning mate's wedding at the Binbrook village church, we heard the unmistakable sound of an F6 being scrambled (it was a Saturday..). Apparently a practice Q scramble had been 'arranged'. Some minutes later, just as we'd finished a hymn, in the couple of seconds between the 'Amen' and the god-botherer starting his bit there was an almighty roar as the Q mate returned overhead v.low indeed at the speed of heat - the whole place shook, the vicar chuckled - and no doubt those 6 ft under in the graveyard with wings forever folded smiled as well.

Somehow I don't think that the timing was purely down to luck?
