I also saw it during the return from Alicante last night - we were just slightly north of CGC - and a really lovely sight it was too, indeed so good that we told the cabin crew to come up and look as well !
Nb. Apparently it's all due to a major sunspot flare-up (see: Solar storms spark light show for more info)

Saw them on the way back from Palma last night. Really a fantastic sight. Cabin crew enjoyed it as well - in the cockpit for an hour oooohhhingg and ahhhhing (not as crude as it sounds!!!).

Working on my night endorsement, wouldn't you know it- overcast at YYZ the whole time 
One question though- has the solar activity affected HF comms over NAT? And would it affect the ADF on an aircraft?

Nuke the rainforest- it's more efficient than logging.

Just got into Sydney and on the way down from Bankok went arount some isolated cbs that caused so much static on both VHF radios that they were unusable for up to 20 mins at a time. Havn't seen this so bad in 13 years of professional flying. Anyone else had this recently, could this be due to recent sunspot activity?
