Default Online source of data - help please

I live about a mile from Filton aerodrome (EGTG) and have recently been
getting the METAR and TAF reports by FTP from NOAA
(ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/) and then having fun learning how to decode
them. I know the same info is readily available in easy to digest form
from various websites, but I prefer to do it this way if possible.

However, Filton seems not to publish these reports all the time (the
last METAR yesterday afternoon was at 1520, ISTR) and this may well be
because it is not a 24/7 active airfield, yet observations from there
are finding their way to the Met Office at least hourly - as seen at
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

Is there a source of these readings in 'raw' form, rather than as pretty
graphs, that I can easily access?

TIA
