Thanks for the 'young' BRL but in reality I'm a grey and wrinkley. As an update I'm now flying from Angers Marcé in France, but don't get to do much these days. I've joined the hoards of Brits that have become expats - at least for a while. I still keep an eye on here now and again.
And for Commanche260 - thanks for the refresh on here - I guess there is a new generation of pilots that need to find this stuff all over again.
So it is perhaps worth re-stating that activitae was started as a free service and was intended to be - and, I think, has been in some small way over the last five years - a spoiler to those trying to make money from providing pilots with safety information. Everyone is at it: the Met Office to provide 15 minute radar; Avknickers.com to provide what is essentially a very old, and very ugly website selling freely available information; countless SMS services sending aviation weather texts to your phone. You only have to look to the US to see how it should be done; free aviation weather as a national service including almost realtime radar.
Now how did I get started on that?
