Flew into Italy during thunder storm

Interesting flight from Stanstead to Pescara, coming in to land we go through a thunder storm. The chap in the window seat said to his wife who looked a bit concerned, that he could see flames in the engine, that was why it looked like daylight even though it was 10pm. HELPFUL CHAP. Anyway Liz was waiting and we were soon in Penne, enjoying a glass of vino.
