What an interesting afternoon it was.
I think I've got the 24 noise abatement departure pretty much perfect now.
Went out kind of between Selsey Bill and Thorney, and had lots of fun. Everyone else was scraping around at 2000ish, but we had happy play at 5000, above the layer but still very much legal as the 2500 SCT/BKN wasn't there out over the coast.
Going home was a bit more dramatic. Train got stoned by some idiots, four carriages had windows holed, blind woman with head injury in our carriage got tended to by my mate who came flying - a paramedic in his odd moments.
The police and ambulance were really thankful that someone had stepped in to help before they'd got there. Train people even said we could have a taxi back to london on them (we declined - Hove to London by cab was going take ages, and besides which we fancied a pint after all that)
Quite a day.
