Default BBC radar site output - source?

I'd frankly given up with the BBC output (both web and broadcast), but
it has been pointed out to me that the radar frames on the BBCi site are
woefully full of spurious returns: this morning see:-

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/charts/...n_05060905.jpg

It shows rain apparently around / near the Wirral and also a large area
SE of the Wash and bits and pieces very near us - a little Cirrus here
atm.

I'm going to try and find someone to complain to (a major task in
itself), but has anyone got any ideas of the feed for these pages?

Martin.

Just had a look at the 15 minute frames from Avbrief. The echoes you
describe, Martin, do not seem to be there in the radar composite output.
There are scattered echoes near Anglesey, which seem to be real as they are
moving in a coherent manner. Also some echoes over southwestern Scotland.
Over the night, the odd anaprop has appeared over the north French coast.
Otherwise all clear.

We've had some very light rain here in the last half hour.

.... I've now been advised that this feed does indeed include raw input
(i.e. declutter, anaprop etc.) and that measures are in place to correct
the scheme 'within the next few days'.
