is it my imagination or is the whole thing becoming un-workable? Last time we were in France we became weathered in at Abbeville for a few days. When we did eventually leave, to fly to Headcorn, it was at a few minutes notice. Our weather guru was watching the metars and forecast for the south UK and he said 'if we go in the next twenty mins we should get through a gap in the fronts around Dover before it closes up again' so we did. He was spot on. We filed our flight plans, activated them by radio as we passed Le Touquet and coasted out near Cap GN.
' went into torrential rain near to Ashford and landed in 'sod tout' visibility at Headcorn. Not a lot of chance to give them 12 hours notice by GAR. The Rans is not an 'All Weather Fighter' and we cannot run to a timetable. The joys of microlighting.....
We had the man from Cust and Imig come to our club to do a presentation on this subject. When I put our circumstances to him he was able to shrug his shoulders but could not offer a workable solution.
