Some wet leaves got blown into our clubhouse, but thankfully they were quickly dealt with.

Redhill made the news - the video/pics showed flooding with small planes that looked as if they had been blown about like leaves - and one poor aircraft upside down.............

Yea, 2 skylights completely gone, 3 door sheets blown off with one traveling 300 yards onto a public road, I shudder to think what the sharp edges would have done if they had hit someone, and sections of roof ridging gone, one door with the runner welds torn from the frame and bent.

While up in shetland there were reports that three people deciding not to go to the pub due 100mph winds on a friday night.
This is unconfirmed but on contacting lerwick police there opinion was that it was pish as the sgt`s wife had her washing out that night and it was just a good drying breeze.

The UK seems to have suffered very much. My own field EBZH Kiewit saw no damage, but it was water-soaked today. Luckily we have PPR so that visiting pilots could be warned - otherwise the field could not have opened. Westernmost quarter of the runway was really unusable - and there is only 600 metres anyway.
I trust their application for a Scottish passport will be summarily declined due to their obvious unsuitability
