the controllers have done there best and had to wait on weather clearing, then lib when possible... i dont see why a mid-day lib should even be considered when the conditions were perfect for a lib at 9.45am, yip most birds will spend the night out including my own but that distance racing for ya!... but why force an entire convoy to spend the night out when unecessary and fall prey to a whole host of predators lurking up and down the country. If lucky enough i'd rather have my doos only a couple of hours from home in the morning rather than another shift of say 4-6 hours to be put in... of course not every body gonna be happy, but when ever is every body happy!!!
