PMc, do you remember doing a block of work 28-31/1/80 including 5 CATIII approaches (@ LHR BFS & GLA),

I am wondering if this is the same winter's time (because it was around then) when I was paxing extensively up to Edinburgh and back, it had been dreary grey on the ground for many days. Departed Heathrow at 0800, straight up into the stuff for several minutes, and with a good rate of climb the Trident burst out of the top into bright sunshine. The whole cabinful of suits (as we all were on the Shuttle at such a departure time) all went "aaaah" as it did so !
