I spent last night in an Airbus 340 over the Atlantic from Chicago to Dusseldorf, and for around an hour and a half as we flew over Iceland I was treated to one hell of an amazing lightshow at 39,000 feet...never been so angry and not having the camera to hand in my life!

I'm jealous as hell, well the not having a camera bit kinda sucks but at least you got a good show.

It has been pretty poor up here on the north coast of Scotland with all the rain, cloud and daylight to contend with when all the aurora alerts are going off. Fingers crossed will get some more soon.

A couple of the sites I use to keep an eye on things are
