If you have got this far with internet then you would have called up Tom
dawes-Gamble's met site, or Metfax, or airmet, or CFO at Bracknell, or
Lyneham Tower and requested a selection of metars/tafs on route. eg Luton,
Brize and lyneham, which is only about 10 miles away. I flew in from Popham
in my group's C152. Strong crosswind, but there were half a dozen planes
there by 3pm. In the note i got from Trevor Jackson there was no mention of a
met briefing facility. Martin is not a met observer and has no anemometer:
would you fly in on his word, or your own judgement based on the metars and
tafs adjacent to the field ?
