Official Report Published on Glider Lightning Strike
The link does not seem to be working, I keep getting a note the server cannot be found. Might you have another link?

Fortunately, both occupants baled out successfully, suffering only minor injuries. The official report on the accident by the AAIB (Air Accidents Investigation Branch) has now been published, and can be found at http://www.open.gov.uk/aaib/dec99htm/bga3705.htm The report contains a comprehensive analysis of the accident as well as a detailed discussion of the effect of lightning strikes on composite airframes and metal parts, and photographs and diagrams.
