Ground inversion I guess, given the mostly clear sky.

Frozen?
Frozen?
He he. No, fully functional. While there, the owner of the field and I went into his hangar to look at his new aircraft. For a minute or two, we could hear the winds coming down shaking the hangar. Also, at ENVA the TAF had a prob30 for gust, 20-30, don’t remember exactly.
An RV-6 went down 2 years ago killing both right after take off from this field. This wind shear stuff was one of the main causes. It’s not un-normal, but nevertheless pretty unintuitive, to the point of unbelievable each time it happens. One just has to be aware.
@RobertL18C , let me guess the location ? or better did you manage to get a Cardiff/Bristol transit and handover ?
@lbra your bunny has a good nose :) just north of Cardiff and staying clear of Bristol
Leviathan of Parsonstown
Located in the grounds of Birr Castle. It was the largest telescope in the world from 1845 to 1917
Some Irish countryside:
Wolftrap DME (I assume is the one on the far left)
@Dublinpilot I have visited Birr, but need to make a proper visit, especially to the castle and the telescope. Perhaps a fly in in 2021?
Thanks for posting!
@RobertL18C well if you come over, I’ll certainly meet up with you. Peter is always up for a visit to Ireland too. So we three of us that would be the makings of a flyin :)
also home to @WF and many fine aircraft and aviators :)
