I answered truthfully: "We didn't fly an instrument approach, The vis here was too poor to fly IFR, so we had to maintain VMC".
I did have top cover...
But these days the (civvy) rules are different and I stick to them.
That was one thing that struck me when going through Shawbury. On BFTS when the weather was too bad for GH we did IF, on helicopters when the weather was too bad for IF, we did GH!
