Don't get me started on 2 Gp's inability to embrace AWOPs......
From one who has: sat in the hold at Brize on Xmas Eve (from ASI) only to end up in Manch (to quote but one example of a myriad of fog-based diversions from BZZ); operated to CAT 3B in A.N. Other miltary's aircraft; and now sees AWOPs as really the rather easy option when it starts to get a bit scoshy (is that how you spell it; I've never really thought about it).
How I chuckled/grimaced in the LAM hold earlier when looking up the weather in Mrs Driver's backyard (so to speak) and thought of all those poor sods delayed or diverted due to the lack of a decent transmissometer, a suitable met conversion chart or, God forbid, a CAT II ILS. Or have things changed?
