A very windy late afternoon at Birmingham so bad it was a no hat day! The very strong crosswind made for some interesting landings and take off's and for the first time I was asked to vacate the top level at the NCP Multi-storey carpark by one of their workers.
One amusing item I forgot hence the edit, the smell of a Jet2 737 tires had me thinking of a chap I knew called Ash which will make more sense to Posrkscratching/Nick than most of you.
