Just heard a story that about 6 weeks back, the TAF produced by the MPA Met Office showed strong crosswinds and severe turbulence on a day when Omni Air were due in from the UK. Apparently the Omni crew contacted some met colleagues in the USA for a 'second opinion'; as requested, the USA-produced TAF made no reference to the bad weather, and the flight duly departed!
