Launch from Wattisham into the hold area to join-up with everything else, but the vis was not good enough, so went to 'plan B' (which didn't involve the C130s, booo!), so the C130s returned home. The only fixed-wings which made it into London were a TriStar and two Nimrods. Happy days. Despite all the bouncing around at low-ish level the only person who was sick was the RAF PRO guy!
You can see sunshine. You couldn't see sod all above the base on Saturday. I know, cos the rain falling from it was soaking me.
