A colleague at work on his return from Greece this Monday 8th
Septemeber 2003 described to me a quite scarey event during his
flight.

He was flying with Brittania Airways, flight number BY368(we think),
out of Zakynos (Zante) . It was still dark and one hour into the
flight the aircraft suddenly turned to the left and dropped rapidly
for what seemed a few minutes. The captain or crew made no comment as
to what the problem was, but a number of people said they wouldn't fly
again.

I beleive there were some severe thunderstorms in the region on the
morning of the 8th. Can anyone confirm this as the cause, or better
still have access to any flight/aviation reports/information regarding
this incident.

Many thanks in advance.
