I was at Rendcomb yesterday doing some pics and we had some cloud that passed through and so we went up and took some photos of the Rearwin. We landed at about 14:30 and the weather was not looking good. It was clear that if I didn't leave very soon I was not getting back to Popham.

I took off at 14:45 and was back at Popham after about 30 minutes (so the tailwind was stronger than forecast too!).

Martyn Carrington called me just after I landed and told me a helicopter had dropped into Rendcomb about five minutes after I left as it couldn't get any further north and it dropped off its passenger and legged it.

Within another ten minutes it was thick snow.

The clouds looked good in the pics though!
