Wow! I've never seen such a thing. Very cool indeed.

Sounds like it's something amateurs would NOT want to fool around with.

The name of the group is "Lords of Lightning".
Not sure how long they've been around. The https://www.facebook.com/pg/LordsOfLightningUk/about/?ref=page_internal says 2011.
