Echo that, plus it'd be a great chance to see Scotland, and catch up with my brother.

Actually, I have seen the SL from right here in Perth, probably around '88 or '89.
Though I was young and didn't really care about being woken up by mum at 2 or 3 in the morning to look at a red patch in the sky, so my memory of it is as hazy as the red patch was.
