A BAC Lightning question.

Please put my mind at rest. From distant memory, I seem to recall seeing a painting of a very low-level Lightning, over rugged, moorland landscape with a farmhouse, set against dark, thunderous clouds. Only the nav lights showed any brightness.

Does this picture exist, or is it just the figment of my sometimes over-active imagination?

Obviously not the picture you are thinking off but a good picture of a Lightning all the same.

Thanks, that's certainly atmospheric, but sadly not the one I have in mind. I believe the title of painting alluded to thunder, something along the lines of 'After the Lightning........'

Anyway, I continue to hope. Despite much time spent on t'interweb-thingy, I doesn't appear to have been issued as a print.

Gents, that is indeed the painting in question. Thinking back, I may have seen it in John's gallery in Harrogate, shortly before his health started to fail him.

Thank you all.
