I'm sure not all Welshmen would agree, but I guess size doesnt matter :\

Two inch TAFS can say "240/10 CAVOK". :ok:

But also "VRB 0200 FG" :{

"Yukky day", as they say in Wales.

But along with "VRB 0200 FG" will be a whole host of other info (w/v e.g.) making the TAF nearly three inches and then it ain't happiness!

I thought happiness was a cigar called Hamlet???:D

Don't fly if you can't fit your thumb over the TAF!!

"Old men love to give good advice when no longer able to give bad example!"

Applies right across the board, believe me!!:)

You only ever have too much fuel when you're on fire!!

Always "Chicken" out early!


Always go with a girl with small hands......it makes yer Willy look bigger.

If you're sitting in a helicopter with the rotors turning and the engine(s) running, and the captain is no longer in the cockpit, you probably shouldn't be either.

Flying in worsening conditions is a lot like sex: once you've started, it's really hard to stop, and unless you're incredibly lucky, afterwards you'll wish you pulled out early.

Shame Hogg didn't take that advice!!

Airspeed is life ~ Altitude is life insurance.

Experience is something you get just after you needed it.

The three great lies in life......

1. "The cheque is in the post!"

2. "I love you too!"

3. "Hi, I'm from Head Office, I'm here to help!"

It's been a slow day, wouldn't you know......

“If brains were dynamite, that boy wouldn't blow his nose!”

“If arseholes could fly, this place would be a bloody airport!”
