Let me explain, before you portray me as worse than I was on the day.

From the ground, I could see for miles. Above me, all I could see was blue sky.

Between 300ft and 750ft was a layer of thin fog. In it, I could see the ground for about a mile/mile and a half ahead. Above the layer, I could see for 20 miles but could see less ground. EGMC's TAF was 6000.

When I say I couldn't see a bloody thing, I didn't mean I was in IMC, what I meant was I was in VFR but at much less than I was happy with.

I posted a frank report of a mistake I made and discussed the factors that led me to make the mistake.

If you feel I need ridiculing for it, then I look forward to meeting you, face to face. In fact you have made me so angry that I eagerly look forward to it.

Maybe my tale will help someone else less full of themselves from making the same mistake.
