Very well MJ. I'm moving up to the Heelans in a few weeks so I shall toughen up from a "soft lowland poof" to a Heelander in time. After a few weeks a 36Kt wind shall be but a breeze.

aipolice - "Mair Wind Than Tommy Sheridan" - think that would require a bit more than 35KT. Perhaps should be reserved for severe winds only, e.g. >50KT.

Or perhaps heavy rain - "Mair Pish than Alex Salmond"

funny thread !

EGEO (time group) 10045G55 RVR 0400 +RA BK 007 OVC 010 02/00M Q0999

Actually is there a code for that crap that gets hurled off the sea. H'mm we would need a code for bits of seaweed and plastic rubbish.
but an easterly gale won't bring debris off the Oban beach, unless it's recirc?

Don't forget to add the colour state GREY to the METAR for most of the west coast.

Pas.

Smithy, don't worry about SAS, he's talking about female sheep, nothing kinky.

Kicking off some Thread drift

I wonder if the fence at Oban is to keep the Sheep from escaping.


I know it's been a wee while since we mentioned The Fence, but we are back on it now, or not, as it were.

Think I'll give the sheep a miss thanks.

Is the fence still there? I noticed when I checked the NOTAMs the other day the NOTAM about the runway length wasn't on the system anymore.

The fence is still there, no change to the situation.

That's because they've (supposedly) incorporated all its requirements into the AIP now. But see post #655.
