Still off topic, but on crosswind landings. I used to be a member of the Crusaders Gliding Club in Cyprus back in the early 80s. Due to the sea breeze we generally operated with a fairly stiff 45-90 deg crosswind. Not a problem, we were used to it.
We had the gliding members of more than one APC Sqn turn up(and try and take the place over!) and declare the conditions too dangerous to fly in.
