Great pictures especially like number three taken under the wing.

One word of caution not so relevant in this case as the fog is well broken and gliding clear should not be a problem but beware in a single over fog and not being able to glide clear as well as the usual warning with fog that it can form quickly even over the field that you left in the clear on departure 10 minutes before.

I can remember only too well flying into Southend at night and being cleared onto the ILS in a Citation. Between being cleared with good vis and a missed approach and diversion into Biggin Hill the fog rolled in in seconds reducing visibility to 200 meters so beware.
The old saying have fuel can travel springs to mind especially with fog around!! Minimal fuel your stuffed!
