Wind and Aircraft Servicing

Initially the conditions were flyable and indeed I'd set off to the airport when I got a call saying that the aircraft had been in effect gazumped by a revision flight for an IR skills test/renewal due to happen the next day. And because it only had about 1:20 hours left before needing to go in for it's 50 hour check (kinda like an MOT), I would have to wait until later in the day until the only other aircraft that was not in for a service was available.

But by then the windy autumn had struck and the wind was something like 260/18G25 - basically not really suitable for practicing circuits, never mind asymmetric ones :-(
