Strong sw wind at the moment in Seaford would imagine Beachy Head will be a liitle breezy to say the least as the wind is blowing up the channel.

Thats the biggest problem with Beachy Head, its always windy up there,
if you are using a video camera, you will need a very hairy Muff

[timuss]

Just need the waether to play ball now, would love to catch the Lanc coming around the Lighthouse at Beachy Head. Not to mention Mitch Beulen repeating his top side pass from last year

[DanH]

Anyone know which scanner frequencies are in use this year?

[someguy1]

[timuss]

Not suprised conditions looked shocking from the webcast. Hope it improves for the weekend.

[lambo17841]

Heard Black Cats say 25-30 not wind with a 500 ft cloud base not surprising not much flew.Heard the King Air on 123.225 not displaying and returning to Biggin lets hope the weekend is better.Said he called Eastbourne anybody now what radio freq is being used ?.Beachy Head might be a bit dangerous unless the wind drops so will give the pier a try Saturday or Sunday depending on the weather which at the moment is changing with every forecast.
Spitfire and Kittyhawk on the apron at Shoreham along with 2 Black Cats and 2 wing walkers on the grass.Guess everything else is operating from Biggin or Manston.Have not seen any reports of what is where.
