Good Lord!!!

If that's perfect weather Vfrpilotpb I'd hate to see it when it's decidedly dodgy nay awful

I thought we did mighty well today considering the constant and massive waves of fog that seemed to stream over the airfield. As soon as the bank of fog cleared off again, what seemed like 500 aircraft tried to hurtle their way to or from Manch at any one time - chaos was narrowly and skilfully avoided - as my colleagues will happily testify

Very strange weather today. One minute it was clearing and literally the next minute we're back to 250m RVR's all 'round

We got shut of alot of traffic to Leeds who seemed to be "above" the fog, Castle Don and I think a couple of others went to Birmingham.

Not often we have to offload traffic to Leeds due to Wx!

And for the first time I think since R2 graced us with it's opening - we had a holding situation at MIRSI, ROSUN and DAYNE. Just shows how much R2 has improved things
