From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
411A, if only the UK had something as good as your FSS system or even 1-800-WX BRIEF!

Unless you happen to be lucky, the average attitude is 'look it up on-line' in the UK - no matter how awkward of impractical that might be. Neither are there many aerodromes which offer half the welcome that even the smallest aerodrome in the US offers. All they're really interested in, for the privilege of landing on a section of decaying WW2 runway full of ruts, is the landing fee...

I saw some fabulous modern GA aircraft at ILA2008 in Berlin this week; I wonder how many people in the UK will ever be able to afford to fly one?
