We woke to a deceptive sky this morning.
With a dodgy forecast the MD set a task heading South East away from the afternoon's predicted over development.
We could see the clouds growing before even the task was set.
No sooner than the field had taken off, the task was cancelled.
Cunims grew bigger as the heavens opened over Sopot.
Pilots made a speed-bar dash heading West towards the airstrip landing field, followed closely by a booming thunderstorm, a wall of heavy rain and fork lightening.
Every effort was made to descend as quickly as possible - easier said than done when the whole valley is going off big time.
Glad to be on the ground, our trusty Team Leader, Kitt was waiting for us with the van to take us home.Later that afternoon the skies became clearer and we all decided to go in search of a waterhole to swim. We found a small river and the boys braved the cold water, whilst I was a bystander, secretly laughing as I watched their bodies turn a paler shade of purple!!
