Well it looks like the only flyable day here in Blackpool for the next couple of weeks is this Wednesday , think I might be annoying the cats now what to use? Neo (hm!, flyaway issues need to keep windows shut), Mini 2se? I know the M2Pro (ah but wait I live in a built up area and within frz). Looks like it’s going to be the mini. Now where’s that airport no?:sunglasses::scream_cat:.

What 4cast are you using, Seadog, Ventusky? Looks good in Cardiff for Saturday/Sunday as well as tomorrow, but I appreciate that Blackpool is a bit more exposed!. Thursday/Friday are no-nos, and from next Monday it’s batten down the hatches, reef the sails, and lash me to the wheel time…

Fair enough, it is winter after all!

The Beeb says up to 60mph for Friday. I think for 250 you’d need to stand at the end of the runway at Warton when the Eurofighter engages reheat and goes vertical.

Edit: just checked forecast again now it’s dropped to 50 mph and coming through later.

Well I said the other day that today (Wednesday) would be the only fly able day for the near future here in Blackpool. Well got up and ready, batteries charged, went out and checked the weather forecasting seaweed and it was wet. Reason, it was persisting it down. Bollocks, back to pissing the cats off (her indoors is out otherwise I could have had a hat trick).
