Plane landing with distant strike - a photo on Flickriver

            Looking over the roof of Thomas King House in Hillfields, Coventry during a 20 second exposure we are witnessing a lightning storm in the summer of 2006. The Bolt of lightning is about 20 miles distant over Northamptonshire whilst the aircraft approaches Coventry's Baginton Airport just 3 miles from the camera.
