  • Storms on its way !!

    Well it looks like it is looking very likely that one of the most destructive storms since 1987 will hit Southern England Sunday night into Monday morning. They have not taken any chances with this one and gone public big time which means it will prolly pass us by lol........let's see shall we ?

        I was out on repairs the day after the 87 storm. Went to some old dears house as she had opened her back door to feed the birds at silly o'clock only to have it ripped off its hinges and it was impaled in the grass at the end of her 100 ft garden lol. Just pulled it out the ground and screwed it back on with longer screws !

              Hope not!
              but if the storm comes, it will be predominantly SW Winds and great for the Barton Cliff.

              I am sure I can get some lead to add weight to my epp sloper.... :rofl:

                Just got home insurance last night, the garage is covered incase the roof blows off lol. However nothing got damaged in 87 but then that was 80-115mph not a poxy 53mph, I've flown my 450 in 40-50mph gusts, well I took off but the wind blew it across the field lol

                  Met office observations have gusts to 56 at the mo'. This storm is supposed to gust 50-80mph tonight south of track and rain north of track.
                  Blown down trees tend to be the issue around here... at least they aren't covered in a metre of snow at the moment...

                    It's very very grey down here, and already getting very windy, pretty big gusts right now. Not looking forward to the morning commute tomorrow!

                      Clear blue sky & bright sun in soton. Bit windy so I'm off flying in a bit to see if vbar is as good in a wind as people say.

                          Sunny here atm but very gusty.

                          Had 1 flight and that was enough, waste of time really.


                          Now gonna put the new flooring down in my garage I guess.

                              it wasn't that windy earlier, anyhow very dissapointed. I've flown many times in wind gusts as strong flybarred but with vbar it couldn't even spool up with out wanting to topple.
