Well 900m is about 3000ft (2952.76 to be exact) which might mean the clouds are above the NOTAM height but I am not sure where that leaves us!
Red 1 on tv this morning from Waddo talking to reporter said they would be flying at 1000ft!

Cloud base forecast to be 300 ft so I think its safe to assume it will be cancelled.Should know shortly anyway.

Surely you mean feet not metres?! Cloud base/ceiling isn’t measured in metres.

Cloud base over London is predicted to be below 900m at 2pm, same as the rally point and the route in.

ZM507 has landed at Northolt.
The three RN Merlins needed a talkdown at Benson.
