Lightning delays Gatwick flights

Passengers have been warned to expect delays after lightning struck the control tower at Gatwick Airport.

The airport said the tower was hit at about 1400 BST during thunder storms which swept across the South East.

A spokesman said departing flights were delayed by the lightning strike, weather conditions and surges on the local power grid.

He said arrivals had not been affected but there would be some disruption to departing flights.

Passengers on the Gatwick Express between the airport and London Victoria station have also been warned to expect some delays after lightning strikes caused signalling problems.

Firefighters have been dealing with a house fire in the Maidenbower area of Crawley which is also believed to have been caused by a lightning strike.
