Hmmmm.... as yet another sign of dumbing of the population, even the news reporter failed to call it a lenticular cloud. They can only form under very specific atmospheric conditions, and only on the downwind side of a very large hill/mountain.

A great cloud all the same!!!

Best regards,

You should google The Telegraph's report of Carol Vorderman flying with Ultimate High at Kemble last week. Apparently she carried out very dangerous manouevres, including the exceptionally dangerous "stall turn" so called "because the engine is turned off". Lazy, dim-witted journalism!

In fact, it's so bad, here's a quote!

Quote The 2011 'Rear of the Year' winner was put through her paces during the 20 minute flight, performing air acrobatics, including dangerous stall turns – where the engine is switched off.

After the death-defying flight, the 51-year-old said: "I'm very happy. I absolutely bloody loved it.
