Long range – 50 USG
is it the the left turn after take off ?
If you look really really carefully at the full size (1080P) version on Vimeo, you might spot the winsock 
The wind was light – probably 3kt or so – but the brain-dead misreading of a windsock is not something I want to do again. Obviously tower was empty, as it usually is on Brac these days.
A couple more pics:
My co-pilot and me after landing on Brac
An improvement in wx over the previous day’s diverted landing at Split, where we got totally soaked and my fuel credit card receipt got dissolved:

I brought a couple of these back home 
One notable thing is that around 4 aircraft didn’t make it due to mechanical problems. That is 4 out of (I think) 13 potentials. That’s a huge %. On top of that maybe another 5-10 cancelled due to the bad wx, which was understandable, when coupled with other factors.
So Peter how many actually made it to Brac?
There were 23 at the table you were sitting at
Just curious how many aircraft made it to the fly-in?
I posted the pics taken by Anna further back in this thread. That’s all I know.

In fairness, the windsock was effectively limp, and you identified it the ‘error’ (if it was an error) before commencing the take off run and decided it wasn’t a factor.
As limp as the windsock was, I’d have taken whichever runway suited me the best.
The wind was very light at that point, yes, but it wasn’t not much earlier
Re who else turned up, sometimes people fly to fly-ins but don’t join the group. This time, the only person I know about was my passenger on the way down there, an ex BA pilot, why flew back by airline after a few days (I got there 10 days before the fly-in, as described earlier, to go on to Greece to a wedding but sadly cancelled that part of the trip) because he had to be back home.
I think the wx was about the worst we have ever had on a fly-in, yet quite a lot of people turned up. It was a case of not knowing till the day if it could be flown, and then looking for a gap in the wx, and it was really super that so many made the effort
I finally had time to Download pictures from my camera
