Hi Fred,
I specifically asked the question at the end of the lecture and I don't
think there was much chance of getting the reply completely wrong. I will
see if I can contact the chap who delivered the lecture and get him to
respond.
Regards,
William

first sentence will do: "Not until the 1980's was it convincingly
demonstrated that the vast majority of lightning strikes to aircraft are
initiated by the aircraft, as opposed to the aircraft's intercepting a
discharge in progress."
