Accident on the A12 Leyston 9pm. Nothing online about it though? Anyone know what’s happened? How long to clear? I’ve been stationary with my 2 year old sleeping, until she woke. I guess sadly it’s likely a fatality and they’re gathering evidence?

Can’t believe how good the photos are of the #aurora tonight just with a phone and no tripod, compared with when I first saw this 22 years ago, the grainy pictures then. The excitement hasn’t changed though!

If anyone is wondering what the flag is in this @BAS_News photo (by Lewis Bumstead) of the #SDA crew and scientist - it's WBB code flags, from Westminster Boating Base @WBBwatersports 2nd officer Fergus used to sail there.
