Thanks all....
I have had SEVERAL cups of tea now, and reflected about the whole thing and am actually PLEASED that I made a decision to abort the whole thing... even ended with a half decent landing as well
So, the weather's nice now. It wasn't when I was flying. No big deal, and there's always another day. Thanks for FWA's kind comments. His story is a sobering one (and as a fellow ATCO I've been on the other end of a few as well. I know you go home... but feel like **** after something like that happens ).
EVO enjoy your trip, just mind the gliders! See you tomorrow evening and no doubt we shall do a spot of hangar flying
