I'm happy to be one of the few people on the network who gets Value for Money! I'm also considerably better off because of my actions!
In terms of the issue of free landings.. it has to be taken in spirit. My forecast from Blackbushe to Shoreham indicated that cloud along the route was and would get no worse than BKN018 at Farnborough, Gatwick or Shoreham. In effect the cloud was down to about 600ft ahead of us although it was clear at LGW, a return to blackbushe seemed more prudent than trying to negotiate a transit that would pretty much take me down the 08r extended centreline, into the overhead and then a turn south. I had the fuel to do that, I suspect the Gatwick Director would have kittens at such a request! I knew Blackbushe participated in free landings for diversions I wasn't sure whether Farnborough did or not so I went to the Bushe. Am I a bad man!? lol
