Not a movement as such, but if anyone was wondering why there was thick black smoke drifting towards the runway a little over an hour ago, a van exploded nearby and was engulfed in flames.

Approx 200 yrds from house, certainly distracted from this morning's task off getting the US trip log for 2019 up to date, following the 'explosion' met my next door neighbour who inadverently quoted the alleged words of the Mayor of Hiroshma,
thankfully the main 'victims' appear to have been the window off the snack-bar (where the van's occupants were) and the next door previously fine manacured hedge, which is now a charcoled mess, afaik no series injuries-thankhfully.....
