tomburras 2,721 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 This was the most amazing thing iv ever seen, i was lamping with mattybugeye in north yorkshire and we both could not believe how surreal it was. the sky was crystal clear and we watched it through our scopes, even the smoke trail was on fire!. We turned the engine off expecting to hear an impact but we never did. We where quite shaken up, we thaught it was a plane exploding at first! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
