Eight pages of MicroBurst and ThunderyBumpery Goodness attached (out of date a bit though). NOTICE the time/movement/burst effect in the graphic immediately above. Here one second and gone the next - with the wind & rain.

By the by I had flown with the mishap pilot in the right seat of a Venom 'under test' after specific maintenance. He knew how to fly the aircraft; but not a lot of hours in Venom I guess; and again I guess he had hours in the RCN in Vampires.

It always puzzled me why he was not able to land the Vampire that fateful day. Having 'discovered' the 'microburst effect' years later I had an understanding of the LIKELY difficulties he faced.
