Thanks alot Dave for posting the file, I've printed it off and will take it with me on Wednesday. I always seem to struggle when trying to capture the perfect shot of lightning, in fact, any shot at all!

The last time we had more than 3 Netweather people on a BA flight we actually drank the plane dry!

• Best seats on flight window seats on the Port side (left looking forward) things to look out for on way out icelandic volcanos I did see the Eyjafjallajokull erupting in the distance you may also get to see in the frozen north east of Canada a white ring the site of one of earth's largest meteorite impacts, Manicouagan in Quebec its usually frozen over till middle of June so easy to see there a couple of others that you may get lucky and see also.
  
• On the way home try for a Port side windows seat again to see possible Storm cells and when it gets dark (take no notice of cabin crew asking you to pull window blind down check with persons in same row though, tell cabin crew your not flying without the blind open unless they want to land the plane because you will have a panic attack if you get any grief from them lol.) you may get lucky and see the Aurora Borealis especially this year and next, you may also get lucky and see my house in Bicester as your plane flies into Bovingdon hold for Heathrow

So i think then that makes the total 8 so hotel bus will have decent load to pick up.
