Hi everyone, Thunderstorm! I took this photo about an hour ago from my front door, it was bright... loud... and wet! It looks like it was a house-to-house flash... but then again it could have been cloud-to-cloud!   Cheers, Dave |

WOW, what a fantastic photo! Must have taken some very good timing. Better than some I showed last friday for sure.
Hope you don't mind that I have copied this photo to a fellow weather enthusiast and professional metoerologist.

Hello Paul!  I'm guessing the flash was a mile or so beyond the street light, but Dave might know for sure. It's definitely one of the best photos of lightning that I've ever seen!  Richard  |

Hello Dave, That is a great photo of the lightning bolts across the sky! Amazing for a series of manual exposures. It almost looks as if the streetlamp was struck |

Tumbleweed in the thread!  I went to watch the D-Day 70th Anniversary celebrations at Lee-on-the-Solent last night - the HMS Daedalus airfield there was the first to send planes to France on D-Day, and was the busiest south coast airfield on D-Day, flying 435 missions on that day. It still operates today as a regional civilian airfield and air-sea rescue centre. There was a service of remembrance at the seafront memorial monument and several flypasts afterwards by a Lancaster bomber, Spitfires, Dakotas and other aircraft from that era. Here are a few photos I took!    Look at the Dakota side-door - it's wide open and one of the crew is waving to us!!!  The stripes are "Invasion Stripes", painted on all Allied invasion craft and aircraft for easy recognition. Cheers, Dave |

They were to drop about 100 parachutists in France but it was too windy? I wish I had my camera with me! Cheers Tony |

I didn't go to watch them take-off in the morning as the weather forecast was poor and I thought they'd probably assemble into formation further down the Solent towards Portsmouth so I had to make do with the TV news reports. BBC report here but oddly, no proper photos or video! I've just noticed another of my photos, it looks like I was above them! They were several miles away when they did the banked turn so the photo is heavily cropped.  Cheers, Dave |
