Nice pic, great to see how a relatively small elevation can really after weather!

Wow – looks like an HF-antenna on that TBM
Just got back – a 4hr flight, calm winds mostly. Really weird temperatures: 0C at the airport and +18C at 9000ft, dropping to +10C over France.
@Loco turned up in his new TBM930. Sadly I didn’t see it because I was parked miles away, near the (broken) avgas pump, and most people left on Sunday morning. In fact I didn’t see anybody’s plane except TJ’s.

No; the nearest that “Vanessa” ever got to a TBM was to take a photo of one Yes that was a crafty nickname because posters with a female identity get a lot more help on forums.
A few pics:
A view from the castle:
A number of these funny sculptures:
The river
This was the really good restaurant
The museum of humanity – very well done but in every detail a testament to a former astonishing ability to collect EU regional development grants
This morning’s departure
A really rugged part of Spain
San Sebastian and the runway – apologies for the terrible colours
The long beach of south western France
It was great to meet you all
I would have got home today only marginally; thankfully possible on runway 02

Weird how such an apparently similar air mass can produce such different wx
The temperature inversions were spectacular too. I have just been editing the camera footage and from my comments on it I see it was 0C upon arrival to the plane, +8C at the runway holding point an hour later, and +18C minutes later, at something like FL60-80. That was in totally clear air too, over Spain. At FL090 it was +10C in SW France, reducing to +9C near the UK.
I have emailed everyone who turned up with a dropbox link with some pics – group pics and some other stuff. So if you didn’t get this, check your spambox and then let me know.
I often don’t connect the EuroGA nickname with the real person Especially if someone turns up who never posted on the forum.
