Hey -- that has the potential to be extremely useful.

It has a few quirks at the moment but it's pretty encouraging -- I assume this was knocked up pretty quickly following the earlier discussions about NOTAMS? Well done.

Things I noticed:
- NOTAMs that are both airfield and enroute appear twice (e.g. Redhill NDB)
- could do with finer control over the NOTAMs displayed, e.g. daytime flights would not need to know about obstruction lights, IFR OCAS would not need flow control NOTAMs; perhaps some template options aimed at day VFR, night 'VFR', IFR OCAS and complete?
- plot on map didn't work for me (just got a red star marking my destination)
- a base map marking airfields and major towns would be better than one showing roads
