Alan, I’ve just come across an interesting video (2.45 minutes duration) taken from NASA’s Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD) website showing a very rare combination of Noctilucent clouds accompanied by Aurorae on the night of 4th & 5th August recent at Caithness, Scotland:-

Certainly worth watching! The text is informative too.
Laurence
Excellent shot, Alan.
