That's it - many thanks to both correspondents. None else really need
reply. I've got all I need (albeit not the KNMI) - and very useful
those Met Office charts are.

I am only normally interested in midday archives so have bookmarked
the MetOffice charts:

which in the noon chart for 1st January this year. Then it's easy to
change the 080101 to whatever date I want.

Note for anyone else interested, the date format is yymmdd
