It looks like a very weak negative strike. Not that I would particularly like to be inside that plane either way!

I was trying to find out which flight this was, but cannot find a way in FR24 to find arrivals by date/time

QATAR Airbus A350-9 A7-ALI, just to the east of Rolle at FL070.

Just from interest HT, how did you find that? Search or other source?

Using the playback feature and starting it just before the time stated. Remember to allow for GMT times.

If it was anything like one we had in a TriStar, 'kin great BANG!
Arthur Whitlock refers to it in his book 'Behind the Cockpit Door'; I was his FO.

p.s. Other than noise, no problems.

Strangely enough the only strike I personally witnessed (as pax) was in a Tristar (LTU), over the mountains on the descent into FAO. All I can remember hearing was what I thought was thunder.
