Someone above mentioned that the the aircraft at Cardiff looked as though they had not been tied down. The Today programme interviewed one of the Cardiff instructors who said that all of the aircraft were indeed tied down, but, given the extremity of the conditions, they were damaged nonetheless. A real bummer for the owners, staff and members of that club. Perhaps I'll stop complaining about the high rent and grotty condition of the Waltham hangars where my group's machine slumbered peacefully through the storm (well, I'll stop for a bit). Loved the bit about the flying tank.
