BRIT NATS 2013 - Day 4

A Complex weather system had put a damper on the Meet Director and Task Committee being able to give us a task today. 

Photos taken at 09h15 this morning to the North and the South show tell-tale signs of the predominant front approaching. 

Forecast are strong 10-15km south easterly winds at take off level, at altitude these will lighten and become more southerly, however, swinging round to stronger North westerlies by 15h00 and bringing rain with them. 

Meaning that if a task were to be set, it would have to be short and sharp with all pilots in the ground by 14h30, and even this, if we are able to take off in such blustery conditions. 

For the moment the pilots are assembling on the South launch at Chalvet for further instructions.
