Hi xrayalpha,

I still stand by my assertion about the west coast weather - Prestwick has a pretty good record for VFR days as it’s 800’ lower than Strathaven and the orographic cloud forms inland of the airfield. Having cross runways helps a lot with wind components.

Perth/Dundee/Fife, etc. are great but have issues with the Haar creeping in from the sea in easterlies, which can happen for extended periods.
