I was outside earlier having a fag and I happened to look up at a plane on approach to Edinburgh airport as it flew overhead.
The sky was heavy and dark and just spitting on to rain. As the plane passed under the cloud it must have just been enought to spark the lightening and it travelled via the plane and down to the ground about quarter of a mile away!
What a sight! Bloody loud too!
Right place at the right time!
