The only time I was hit by lightning was on the final approach to Wildenrath in a 99 Sqn Britannia from Lyneham in March 1961 according to my logbook. We'd had manky weather for most of the trip but about four miles from touchdown there was a brilliant green flash with a bang, we'd been hit by lightning - and that was it.
After landing the flight engineer inspected the aircraft for any obvious damage, the only thing to be seen was that the static discharge wicks on the wing had been burnt down to stubs and apart from that we were OK - so not really a big deal and next day we continued our flight transporting the ground crew of a Wildenrath squadron we were taking to Nicosia for exercises.
Fascinating YouTube video of a 747 being hit by lightning shortly after take off here:
