IO540,
Thanks for your help, but i have never accessed my pprune e-mail. I will pm you my company mail and if you would send the weather info it would be greatly appreciated. However as 1d2d3d4d points out, the out look is not good

. Still it wouldn't be the first time i have seen the forecast slightly wide

of the mark at that range! So i have advised my brother to pencil it in as a goer, and look at it again on Saturday. It would be good to get this flight in before Christmas as he is off on a contract in January to a far flung place.
