Default Supercells in the UK

Simon,
No doubt the storm of Friday Sept. 5th 1958 was in the super cell class and
incidentally fired my enthusiasm for the Weather. I believe the Wokingham
storm in 1959 could be put into this category as well but overall they are
relatively uncommon.

Hi,

Layperson question. Has a supercell TS ever been recorded in the UK
before? Much has been made of the discovery of the supercell in the UK,
but was this discovery made from observing other countries, or from an
actual occurrence in the UK?
