Cb that passed over and associated lowerings

[Razor61]

Hi folks,

Here are some pictures of a large Cb (Cumulusnimbus) that passed over Dunkeswell airfield a few weeks ago, I went up there to get a better view of the approaching buildups. It produced some great lowerings including what looked like a small wall cloud, but this could of been scud. Also a funnel shaped cloud that came out and dissipated within seconds... again could of been scud cloud however. Then as it moved over and away to the east it made for a great picture....

Pic 1. The Cb approaching from the west.
Pic 2. Lowering as it passed overhead
Pic 3. More lowerings including scud that looked like a wall cloud and funnel
Pic 4. The Cb moves away, already forming into the characteristic anvil although albeit on the small side this time. No lightning seen or thunder heard but it might of let loose half hour later or so, i had no access to sferics data so i was unable to tell.
