Hey Rotoryman,
To answer your question , er, or should I say statement!:-
The lady FI was training me for my test flight with the CAA, she had immense skill and ability, and the perfect storm was one of these things that rumble out nowhere to create havoc for everyone and then having spent its power it limps away and the sun shines again, she was in minute by minute contact with the ATc chaps at EGNH and told me to carry on flying, whilst she was talking and ATC were replying she was guiding me just gently to the left, and lo, the storm having raged for about 12 minutes at EGNH was disappearing down my starboard side, the ride wasn't turbulance free, but what an experience, before you try to jump up and down about the need to fly, I did on reflection feel happy that my instructor had given me the chance to get some experience of the awsome power from such a beast of a storm just to feel the strength and power of such gusts, as we were returning from a pretty long pre test lesson, it was yet another lesson of just how to handle odd wx situations
