I've got almost a whole wasted film of a group of people watching
Chieftain tanks fire, at Lulworth range.  Every time one let off,
everyone in the group lifted off the ground.  I couldn't control my own
reactions enough to get the shot of them levitating.  I just wanted to
_leave_, right now!  They were a good 50 yards away and pointing in the
opposite direction.  Lord preserve anyone who gets in front of one.
