Not all of UK had bad weather on Saturday. I for one was flying and with an IMC rated airplane and experienced pilot I can't see the problem with a takeoff in 800ft cloudbase.
I meant in the locale and in relation to VFR aircraft, obviously there would have been some aircraft flying somewhere in the UK
Sibson is only a few miles from this crash, and the weather there was not suitable for most light aircraft activities.
172 rather than 152 I believe - looks like G-AWMP based in Suffolk, as is the pilot according to that article.
