Thanks for the info, was watching out for some more action down this way today! Appears to be a similar situation at Marham & LN.

DATIS reporting visibility 300m since 1450. Waiting for the next update. If it hasn't improved any (and I don't think it will), I'm heading home.

That link leads to a dead link in the play store. I've found a similar app but it has next to no info in it, and certainly no live info. Any alternatives?

Like the Caterpiller in the Red October Submarine, wonder wether the Russian Navy Carrier Group have a Fog Making device on the Kuznetzov?
