I recall many long gone occasions with talkdown telling me to look ahead at 200 ft, but then keep talking as often the cloudbase was well below that, and we needed extra help to get in. ISTR one Christmas in RAFG getting airborne on Christmas Eve with a poor forecast and (we were mudmovers) trying to do PI s with 3 aircraft - not very successfully!! I was glad to get the Bruggen recall as weather was going down. V impressed with my Nav as he stayed with me all the way (specially as the previous evening had been the Xmas Draw!!)although vis was close to 0 - I would have not been so trusting! However, we both made Christmas at home that year.
