Congratulations William! You obviously selected a good venue, and you called a great day for the weather. You don't need to thank me for instigating the weekday fly-ins, the fact that people are obvi
I have just checked out the three day forcast on avnet which portrays a week front sprawled across the UK from South Wales through East Anglia. Suggests 700 feet None VFR under the front. Think I wil
At the risk of sounding boring, I have just looked at the local forcast for Peterborough. It forcasts broken skys with sunshine.....I give up! I think I will draw the curtains in the morning, and dec
