in the URL, add a bracket before and after "Gh" (pprune won't allow you to post links which contain parentheses)
As for books: "Pilot's Weather", written by, er, some bloke, is lezz zizzy than Thom.
Also, rifle through old copies of "Flyer" to read Irv's articles on weather (hey Irv and Ian: any chance of publishing them together in a small book?)
