2 very nice fronts passed through from about midday onwards. Lots and lots of lightning, very loud thunder and torrential rain. Had the scanner on and most aircraft were holding to the north west of the field, lots of diversions as well.
The runway 16 ILS equipment (which has just been repaired after the EK incident) was thought to have been hit by lightning, with some sort of alarm going off? Aircraft were using the 16 twin locater approach. Not sure if it has been confirmed whether the ILS was actually hit though.
