I know about GMT watches but they can only tell you the current LT and UTC, not so useful when figuring out when in LT will future weather conditions occur in a TAF for example. Any recommendations?

A little surprised this doesn’t already have a post running. What are peoples thoughts on the current strikes? Everyone around the country has faced pay issues over the past few years.

Some of my earliest proper memories are of my dad attaching collars to his RAF shirts after towelling condensation from the bedroom windows before heading off to work, leaving an aroma of grilled breakfast kippers in his wake.

So what will happen if the bad guys win this time? If Russia and China dominates what can we expect over the next 10, 20, 30 years? Read More
