Default New May thickness record?

According to the 12z GFS, 1000-500 thicknesses peaked at 569dam over London
today.

(or http://tinypic.com/5ebrza once the above chart changes later tonight)

Martin Rowley's excellent usw FAQ gives the record as being 568dam for May
over Kent/East Sussex, so it's a close one. The 12z Herstmonceux ascent gave
a thickness of 566.5dam, which matches the GFS forecast for London at that
time...

Just a thought. How is the thickness of the BBC management measured? :-)

I thought this was another thread leader where the poor old Beeb were
getting another reaming.
