to actually appreciate how much rain fell on the airfield you had to be there in all honesty, the band of rain was about 50 mile long but only about 5 mile wide, Farnborough, the airfield anyway, copped the lot, all 50 mile of if, blue skies could be seen to the North and South throughout the downpour, I heard Odiham got 0.1 mm of rain, Aldershot was dry, Farnborough got a months worth in an Hour
