Re: First satellite launch from the UK set to go ahead tonight in Cornwall
I remeber watching the Nimrods flying in and out of Avro Woodford, my uncle was an engineer there and would go on the test flights. I always used to wave as they flew over just in case he was looking out as they flew over our house.
Just checked the weather forcast over Newquay tonight and it's showing light cloud, very clear visability and wind gusting up to 23mph.
