Excellent guys, just the local knowledge I was looking for. The South American River will be getting an order from me shortly...
The PSTAR is interesting and I can see needs to be learned well. All familiar stuff, but easy to make a mistake on reading the question.
I shall be in eastern Vancouver so Pitt Meadows or Boundary Bay will probably be the most convenient. Didn't Pitt Meadows used to be a locator for YVR on westerly landings? It comes to mind in the sludge of my memory...
Many thanks
