That's sad - I know of several people who've been to Iceland and on airplane chasing flights who've had no success - it's very much hit or miss.
I've also read that the fantastic photos shown of it are generally time lapsed and compilation shots.
Actual sightings are not as good as made out.

It's still something to marvel at, green in the sky, even in your photos. Thanks, Mark.

Hi Dave, sadly not, that was the only night we had with clear skies and a KP above 0.7 and we're back home now. Maybe next year...
Rod we did wonder whether that was the case but I have seen some good footage from aeroplanes when they chased the lights for Stargazing Live on the BBC.
I can at least say I have seen them with my own eyes even if they weren't what they could have been.
Cheers

Not even remotely in the same league but took this on our way to Yorkshire on Sunday - there was about a dozen of them moving very slowly as very little wind
