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. mike
