Winter is coming to Scotland. We have a maritime climate, so plenty of variety, but usually no extremes. However...
Thursday brought wind, rain, hail, snow. The bridge conveying traffic north from Edinburgh over the Forth Estuary was closed - winds gusting to 86 mph. An empty jet at Edinburgh airport was tipped onto its wingtip. It also brought the winds to the Cairngorm ski area - 165 mph recorded. Not a record, but exceptional for here.
Today was different, so I pulled out the RV12 to take a look at the Cairngorms. Not high by most people's standards (4000 ft) but can be pretty, especially in the winter.
Happy building. Happy flying...Keith
