I wouldn't have spun but used the dwoncurrent some 2 miles downwind of
the up. But maybe that area was too cloudy

Mind you, I did once have a similar experience under a cu nim in South
Africa. Maximum speed, airbrakes out and holding level flight (ASK
21). Of course, once clear of that storm, it was absoutely smooth with
only the merest of gently descending air. Mind you, it was sufficient
to stop me getting back to base. But that's another story.

By the way, GRL ace Phil Jeffery landed out at Banbury yeaterday.
Guess who went to get him?
