We've got 40-50 mph winds at the moment with rain falling horizontally. Lol. Lights keep flickering in the house... No snow yet though... We have the mobile home on the drive if we get a power cut...

Yeah be safe up there in Bonny Scotland.

We've had snow, sleet, rain and high winds here. At the moment there just rain and high winds, doesnt look like theres going to be any flying over this weekend.

Good luck with the maiden Graham (if you get the opportunity with the weather).

Did you say light Graham, tell me more. Are you making them up or have you bought a kit?
I've got a nav light controller board some where I've been toying with the idea of installing the board but replacing the lights with strip leds.

We had the really high winds here also. Some trees came down and a couple people were killed. Very tragic a small boy crushed when a tree came down on their car. :(
