When I am looking out of my Man Cave window- today Wednesday now that the storm has arrived- it does appear very appealing retirement, as it is absolutely throwing it down. Happy Days Bob

Could we see some unusual routings OTT today? Eastbound flights are regularly showing a tailwind giving them indicated air speed of 620 kts. Westbound must be looking at routes that do not hit these winds head on?n

Hope everyone in the southern end of the country are safe, you seemed to get the worst of the Storm Eunice - we got away with it just a bit of heavy rain and the odd 60 plus mph gust- it did not help me as I was out in the yard for a two hour stint before I did an early dart to pick the wife up from the hospital following her treatment. Nothing in the book for the last two days albeit Enter Air 737 SP-ENX has arrived full of LPL FC Norweigian supporters. On a brighter note handed in my weeks notice to my bosses at work- not exactly a week only two more days as I had three days holiday left -so finish work at 12 noon on Tuesday. Will seem strange after working for 55 years. On a sad note Martin sorry to here about your brother sad news indeed. Stay safe everyone Bob Dave- I saw your Las Vegas Sands 767 at believe it of not Las Vegas Ahh Huhh!

A big fat zero here in downtown Devizes, low cloud all day and the winds started picking up at 11am and reached their worst by 3pm after which they slowly abated and by bedtime at 11pm, there was scarcely a twig moving. We were very lucky, we had a fence post snap during a storm in November but hadn't got around to fixing it. The fence panels on either sides were able to flex in the wind and thus we suffered no further damage. But looking out the back bedroom window at the line of back gardens down our side of the street, everyone else seems to have sustained a fair bit of fence damage plus there's a roofless shed four doors down.
Just drove out of town on the Bath Road to a local farm shop, the road and pavements are littered with slates and tiles, fences down and loads of branches so I think we were very lucky indeed,

After yesterdays storm which didn't really affect my area that much, today was very wet to start with. When I drove down the hill towards Shrewsbury it was like driving in a river. It brightened up by mid afternoon and as I wasn't born with the football gene I was able to put 6 in the book.

Hi Dave
Yes, saw the result, good for the team and supporters but not enough to save Paunovic. Although extremely windy, the skies were variably cloudy and clear yesterday which meant four frames went into the book including the KC-135 which I missed a couple of days ago above the clag

Quick trip to Popham this morning after the tower rang to report our little Cessna being swung sideways in the wind. Fortunately no visible external damage but inspection will be needed at least on the nose gear which had been dragged sideways. Not so lucky were some of the new blister hangars as below - IMG_0274 by dave tompkins, on Flickr
