FNG, thanks for the clarification, I feel that the acronym of your association is extremely appropriate with regard to the operation of "planes" in the method you describe.
I shall now continue to operate my plane, albeit well clear of any wood, in the same way as I wave a power drill above my head for no apparent reason, and a similar fashion to Eminem's recent well-publicised use of a chainsaw (which was also well clear of a wood, although it was fairly close to some wood, or more likely sawdust)

You can print off AIC's from the CAA's website...
Can I suggest pink AIC 124 (I think!)/1996
THE EFFECT OF THUNDERSTORMS AND ASSOCIATED TURBULENCE ON AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS

I remember my old man explaining to me the power of CBs, he flew Beaufighters in the Med during WW2, flying around the toe of Italy they were bounced by two 109's unable to shake these two off they purposely entered the CB that was nearby, so did the two 109s, now the Beau was a very strong and powerfull A/c but when they emerged some 2/3 mins later what the saw gave them heart for falling out of the base of the CB were variouse bits that looked like aircraft panels followed by an engine with a prop still spinning, their Beau was stressed so badly that it never flew again, somthing to do with the main spar being bent, so as others have said, stay well away from any CB by at least 10nm or more.
