Fooled by the weather

21/07/2007 by Pudsey.

Yipee - Yak flying day today We were due to display at a private wedding (of a pilot!) near Trent VOR (TNT) and the plan was to drop into Derby Flying Club to drop Debs off first - only I can go with  Nigel on displays On the way out we had a couple of photographic jobs to do for Debs… but I can’t give too much away coz it will spoil her sisters birthday treat!! Then we headed off to Derby… good viz… good flying. We got 10 miles west of Cambridge when we hit low cloud and had to turn around… oooh it was weird - almost like a wall blocking our way. We diverted into Cambridge and picked up some fuel (another airport to add to the list of places visited :-)) We sat out in Cambridge hoping the weather would improve, but it didn’t - there was a huge band of “weather” across the country from SW to NE - with a sunny gap at East Midlands. So we took a quick trip up to say hi to Uncle Dale before heading for home - where we saw a huge thunderstorm to the west on the way home
