Ah...there I was 50,000ft, and nothing on the clock but the makers name and that was in French.... Had to get below 25,000ft before I could attempt a relight. About enough time to call mmmmayday, mmmmmayday. A fantastic view of the land/ocean looking straight down. The old girl relit and back to base. Phew! The exercise accurately described by Capn Bloggs was purely that an exercise. Never heard of anyone being lucky enough to be positioned correctly over the field when the noise quit!
