Saw one of BNWA's depart BLK tonight . Couldn't tell if it was the stalwart Piper Navajo G-PMAX, although PA31 G-BYVF was operating for them on Friday, seems like they just draft a different one in when they have a problem! G-OBNW does charter services as it is fitted-out in an executive style!:O Not very exec here in BLK tonite tho.

It must have been gusting over 50 and well off the slot when they took off and looked a bit scary :\ so God knows what it was like on Fraggle Rock and over the Irish C.

Anyone know the xwind limit for taxi and take off on PA31. :confused: . I'm told even Euromanks and Aer arran were diverting and:confused: :sad: even the seagulls had been blown off the rock as it was gusting 60-70 theyre:mad: ? Anyone on Fraggle alive to tell the tale?:D
