Reasonably favourable weather conditions over the United Kingdom allowed the collection of the Section's largest set of Leonid data for a great many years. Peak activity, with Zenithal Hourly Rate of the order of 250 was found around 1998 Nov 17d 04h UT (Solar longitude(2000.0) (?(2000.0))= 234.64°), some 15-16 hours ahead of the expected maximum around the time of node-passage. Activity in this early peak was dominated by bright events, including a high proportion leaving long-duration persistent trains. Orbits were obtained for five of the meteors by the Section's Multiple Station Imaging Group.
