Just take a peek at the Atmospheric Pressure indicator... :o...!

WOWZERS!

I have never, ever seen the pressure so low before... :o...!

Paul...Battening down the hatches.... :(...!

At first I thought that this was going to be a dinner of the day post. Beans on toast maybe or brussel sprout soup ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Tee-Hee... ;D...!

Sorry, Matt...;)...!

Dinner as usual today. Anticipating bad weather for today, I rushed into my local branch of Sainsbury's yesterday on my trusty motor-bike to stock up with goodies to eat... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

(I didn't want to get blown off my bike, either from external wind, or internal wind!... :-[...).... ;D...!

Paul.... ;D...!

I think at the moment, the Black Mountains in Wales are protecting us, (me), from the worst of the storms!...(W-S/W winds)

WOW!...The sun is shining!... :o... ;D...!

Low Pressure still off the scale!

just a bit windy mate, i went to Sunerland today to visit the university (a lovely institution they have, a very possible insurance choice)

and driving up the A1 me and my dad came up with a new game for on the generation game (gosh going back a few years now)

you have to try and pour coffee out of the thermas flask while someone else drives and tried to deal with the very heavy winds sweeping into the side of the car... would like to add not a drop spilt :P

by the way, the stretch of the A1 i was on at this time is very open to winds from the North Sea, trucks have been pushed over by the wind on this stretch of road!!
