Oh no !!!

[Scrumpy]

We had the loudest clap of thunder and lightning last week.. Just one strike.. The thunder sound was deafening..
We later learned that the lightning hit a plane at Gatwick nearby.. and it was forced to land..
It is on video.. 
 My worse fears when flying..
I do not enjoy flying.. never have.. Though i have flown far and wide.. I fear it..

I have only ever flown once,  many years ago  -  well twice if you count the return journey.  
There was a storm when we flew,   scary stuff indeed.

I have never flown since.  I am not much of a traveller really.

Rough turbulence and heavy landings are no fun but they are as nothing  compared to that damned cross channel hovercraft. Once on that was more than enough for a lifetime. Return ticket used on the ferry instead.

I'm a little bit nervous but have only experienced really bad turbulence once, we had to circle New York for what seemed like an age.  The stewardess was sick !  it was that bad 

I've never been on a Hovercraft, didn't fancy that at all !     North sea ferry to Rotterdam could be a bit worrying !

The only time I crossed the Channel on a Hovercraft, the sea was like a mill pond both ways, and it was a very fast crossing.

The last time I visited Oz, the home flight was delayed due to a thunderstorm over Melbourne and we landed at Heathrow in a gale. The flight to Newcastle was delayed because of the gale, and was still very bumpy indeed. The stewardess served coffee, then took it back in case we ended up wearing it.

Happy days.
