Hey
FFF - most of my scary stories have been in poor vis. also, to the point that, whereas just after getting my licence I was comfortable in these conditions, having had a couple of scares, I am now totally paranoid about vis. probs and have been building up my confidence in these conditions by flying with mates recently (thanks Alex, Adrian!) - and definitely hoping to do IMC in the new year when schedule allows...
I've described these incidents here before, so won't bore everyone again... one was sea fog on Devonshire coast, and the other entailed getting into Cranfield, as you were, in poor vis. due to a line of showers. Unfortunately though I was aproaching from another direction (WCO) so no line feature to follow - so this ended up being first time I had to use VDF in anger...
"QDM QDM QDM" etc... worked a treat!
