As a holiday pax on final into Kos - struck by ball lightening. Saw it strike the port wing and flash over onto starboard.
Stewardess came on with the usual, 'Ladies and gentlemen, nothing to worry about, you may have noticed that we've just been struck by lightening coming in to land. The aircraft is perfectly safe and there's been no damage.... (pregnant pause)... fortunately!'
Same trip on return to Manchester, into the descent, skipper came on and said, '(L & G etc.) For practice, the co-pilot is going to attempt to land the plane. Should be good for a laugh!'
This was a week after the Manchester plane fire.
Good eh? Bloody funny.
