Sudden vivid memory of a past event (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flashback

(Other definitions for flashback that I've seen before include "Past scene inserted into a film's chronology" , "Film scene from an earlier time" , "Unexpected but vivid recurrence of a past experience" , "Disturbing sudden vivid memory of a past event" , "Unexpected but vivid recall of a past experience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Times.
