The thunderstorms're not forecast anymore.
In fact, Sunday's top temperature is forecast 28??C for Leicester. That's as warm, if not warmer than when we were in Crete.
(I still don't believe these forecasts, by the way. I arranged with EMH to visit the 109 yesterday morning. It poured. Proof, as if it were needed, that me and helicopter activity is a combination that results in foul weather!) _________________ J.

Don't forget to pack your swim wear (Shorts, trucks, bikini's, posing pouches, leopard skin - no lets not go there !)!! Otherwise you'll be down the shop buying some like this guy!!
Not long now! _________________ It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here.

Also thanks from us Rotorcraig - have noted your NOTAMs
Will keep a look out.
But, we are leaving Wellesbourne Airfield at approx 10.30 with ETA Barnsdale 11.30am, so safely on the ground before proceedings start at Hambleton.
By the way, have flown into Hambleton for lunch last year!!
Nice location - delicious lunch - yum yum!!
