had just come out of routine maintenance and the pilot was on a test flight when they reported mechanical issues which forced them to land the plane in Lady Bird Lake.”

Re: Lightnings en masse! Big formation.

My memory of 1973 is understandably a little hazy, but on one memorable day 65Sqn (F1/T4) and 2(T) Sqn (F3/T5) both put up 9-ships for some reason I recall not - an amazing achievement. For this balbo, muggins was 'Duty Pilot' in ATC. The vis worsened and the two groups split up. I recall an anxiou...

Lightnings en masse! Big formation.

Quite something to see such a big formation of the venerable Lightning (from Aeroplane Monthly) ... No 226 OCU.JPG I cannot say I particularly enjoy scanning colour transparencies, of which I have quite a few, but doing so can jog the memory. It was very recently that I sought out a Kodachrome slide...

2050 has come about in France in 2022.

A weather forecaster who warned of high temperatures across France in 2050 due to the climate crisis has seen her predictions come true in 2022. French weather presenter, Évelyne Dhéliat, predicted in 2014 that temperatures would reach up to 43C in August due to global warning. However, the country...

Possibility of gusty winds later, but I wouldn't bet on that.

Oh Zephyr winds that blow on high tell me if I should fly or drive?

Nice day on the Humber,the hedge cutter has just arrived! Considering the forecast of 31C I have opened my study window and a cool gentle zephyr is wafting across my key board.
