It wasn't much fun on Runway 08 at Exeter this evening with a 35KT

I've come into Exter from Jersey in a "flying portacabin", a Shorts 360
IIRC. It's a little unerving being on final approach and having an
excellent view of the runway lights out of the passenger windows. Boy did
the pilot put that down hard, no way was he letting it even half think
about bouncing must have been a good 30 degree change of heading on
touching the tarmac.

The likes of Jack and co deserve medals.

Where there any flights?

Cold front came through about 0300 here, wind had dropped back to F7 by
then but nosedived to F4. Temp fell just a couple of degrees to about 4C.
23mm of rain clicked up, pretty even rate for the entire event of about
3mm/hr. Couple of gusts above 50mph.
