In the late 1960's I was a kid near RAF Wattisham. There was great local amusement when a Lightning flew at medium level just to the south of Hadleigh. The Bomb Disposal people chose exactly the right moment to detonate two recently disovered land mines in an old railway cutting.
Lightning flies overhead . . . Boom Boom and, you guessed it, the phone lines to the Staion were buzzing.
Allegedlly the pilot got a rollocking.
But, with the mists of time, perhaps it is just now legend.
